FMC Time to Digital Converter Hardware
The Time to Digital Converter board, FMC TDC 1ns 5cha (EDA-02290) is an
FMC mezzanine board with five input channels.
It houses the Time to Digital Converter chip
ACAM and it can calculate time
differences between pulses arriving on the different channels.
The FMC TDC 1ns 5cha can be carried by any of the carrier boards: SPEC or SVEC.
