Project description
The FMC DEL 1ns 2cha delay module provides two TTL pulse-outputs with
independently adjustable delay and pulse width. Pulses are triggered by
a common TTL input with adjustable threshold.
The timing is synchronized either to an external reference clock or an
internal 125 MHz VCXO (white rabbit compatible). Delay and pulse width
can be fine-adjusted with a resolution of 10 ps.
Signal paths have been optimized for low jitter and high frequency pulse
repetition
rates.
