Products

Our product portfolio comprises a range of versatile time-to-digital converters (TDC) and analog-to-digital converters (ADC). Many of our customers' applications rely on time-of-flight (TOF) measurements. Our PC boards are ideally suited for use in mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) and LIDAR Systems, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM), Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC), Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and others.

Our multi-hit capable time interval analyzers perform measurements of pulse arrival times at highest precision. Our transient recorders (ADCs) provide additional analog pulse shape information as, for example, pulse height, width, and area, and allow for detailed pulse shape analysis to disentangle single-pulse contribution in scenarios of overlapping pulses. Many of our boards can be linked and synchronized for high channel count applications. Our Ndigo Crates may house up to 8 PCIe boards in an external casing in such settings.

Our platform-based approach allows us to quickly customize products for OEM customers that need additional features for their systems.

The use of TDCs in quantum research

Wolfgang Löffler's project in Leiden, Holland, finds answers to current questions in quantum research. In the process, our fast TDCs facilitate the development of single-photon counting receiver modules which convert single-photon detection events into streams of time tags.

This is why we don't track our customers...

cronologic made a conscious decision to forego tracking information altogether. We want to consistently give our customers and interested parties the choice and protect them from any “dark patterns” or “digital nudging”.
