The xHPTDC8-PCIe is our most versatile TDC. This is the ideal time-to-digital converter for an infinite stream of time stamps.
Don't restrict yourself to classic common start configurations! With the xHPTDC8-PCIe time interval analyzer you can easily set up custom trigger scenarios. The device provides an infinite stream of timestamps - one for each input pulse. You may filter the stream in your own DAQ-software - or make use of the trigger and grouping features provided by xHPTDC8-PCIe.
Like the xTDC4-PCIe, the xHPTDC8-PCIe provides very high-precision measurements with almost no cycle-to-cycle jitter. From this time interval meter, you can expect an RMS error that is very close to the quantization error. Its linearity is also practically perfect!
The inputs accept a wide range of single-ended signaling standards including NIM, TTL, and CMOS.
The PCIe bus master accesses directly a ring buffer in your PC memory, ensuring low CPU load at high data throughput.
Our TiGer timing generator allows you to create digital output pulse patterns on all connectors to control the timing of your experiment.
The newly added 18-bit ADC can monitor an analog voltage in your system in sync with the data acquisition or controlled by an external trigger.
cronologic will support you with drivers for Windows and Linux.
![The occurring cycle-to-cycle jitter of the xHPTDC8-PCIe is much lower than the bin size of 13ps. Therefore you can expect an RMS error below 7ps for your measurements.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f758069ff88881482767cd7/63903a2a23b5304e438c0c0c_Jitter.webp)
High precision
![The threshold discriminators can use positive or negative threshold with configurable voltage. This allows you to use the xHPTDC8-PCIe with a wide range of detectors, constant fraction discriminators (CFD) or signal standards in general.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f758069ff88881482767cd7/63903a41cedc3f1588298b59_custom_dc_offset.webp)
Bipolar
![All inputs can also be used to output periodic pulse patterns to control your experimental setup. The exact timing of these is measured by the TDC.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f758069ff88881482767cd7/63903b1e385b0552ca9870d2_TiGer_Bild.webp)
TiGer timing generator
![There is no limit to the acquired time interval with this TDC! It will output an infinite stream of timestamps for all incoming pulses. In case you prefer common start or common stop the device can output structured data that mimic these modes.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f758069ff88881482767cd7/63903be836447330d2e2e672_infinite_range.webp)
Versatile trigger windows

Voltage monitoring ADC
![You can block inputs from being measured for a certain period relative to other input pulses. This reduces buffering requirements and CPU load.](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5f758069ff88881482767cd7/63903c40c2a607174a1f52ac_Gate_Inputs.webp)
