Manual or pulse triggered RESET
The CAEN Mod. N1145 is a double unit NIM module that includes four independent 8-digit counters each with their own display and can accept up to 250-MHz input rates. These counters can be cascaded to increase the word length to 16-digits for two counters, and 24-digits for three counters. Counters 2 and 4 have a “Carry” or overflow output to allow the cascading of the counters. Counters 1 and 3 have a set of bridged gate connectors to allow a single gate to be used on multiple counters.
An 80-MHz fifth counter with its own display can be used as a timer, counter, rate divider, or delay.

Packaging |
Two units wide NIM module |
|
Inputs |
1 NIM/TTL level input per section, 50 Ohm impedance;min. FWHM: 2 ns (sections 1 ÷ 4), 3 ns (section 5) |
|
Gate |
Section 1 and 3: 2 bridged high-impedance NIM/TTL inputs Section 2 and 4: 50 Ohm impedance NIM/TTL input |
|
Carry |
std. NIM level; two sections can be cascaded by feeding first CARRY into the input of the second section, thereby making a 16-digit counter |
|
Load |
1 NIM/TTL input, loads counter with value set on thumb-wheel switches, min. FWHM: 3 ns |
|
Comm. Reset |
1 NIM/TTL input, 50 Ohm impedance; clears sections from 1 to 4, min. FWHM: 3 ns |
|
Out |
2 NIM outputs; are true as long as counter’s value differs from zero |
|
End marker |
1 NIM output; a pulse is generated when the counter reaches zero. Pulse width can be adjusted by turning the front panel trimmer (50 ns to 1 µs) |
|
Max. frequency |
Sections 1 to 4: 250 MHz (2 ns pulse FWHM) |
