Products Overview

High Speed ADCs

Our analog-to-digital converter boards are optimized for the analysis of analog pulses at very high repetition rates as occurring in TOF-MS, TCSPC, FLIM and LIDAR instruments. Unlike other digitizer boards, they detect pulses on the fly and stream the pulse shape data directly to main memory, minimizing bandwidth requirements, latency and CPU load. Two examples from our portfolio are shown below.
