CAEN Digital modules form the infrastructure of logic-based experiments, providing everything needed for triggering, timing, counting, and signal routing. The family includes TDCs, scalers, coincidence units, programmable logic, fan-in/fan-out, translators, and signal generators for complete experiment control.

  • TDCs and timing units for sub-nanosecond time measurements

  • Scalers, coincidence units, and programmable logic for flexible trigger generation

  • Fan-in/fan-out, translators, and I/O registers for complete digital signal management


Digital Families

Coincidence/Logic/Trigger Units

Coincidence/Logic/Trigger Units

Suitable for various digital Gate/Trigger/Translator/Buffer/Test applications which can be directly customised by the user, and whose management is handled by two FPGA.

Digital Detector Emulators

Digital Detector Emulators

Digital Detector Emulators are multichannel instruments for the emulation of radiation detection systems

Fan In - Fan Out Units

Fan In - Fan Out Units

Programmable FPGA and I/O unit housed in a 1-unit wide VME 6U module. The board is a suitable solution for the implementation of digital functions such as Coincidence, Trigger Logic, Gate and Delay generator.

Programmable Logic Unit

I/O Registers

I/O Registers

V1495/V2495/V977 and DT5495 are suitable boards for various digital Gate/Trigger/Translator/Buffer/Test applications which can be directly customised by the User, and whose management is handled by two FPGA.

Scalers

Scalers

Multichannel scaler operation with programmable dwell time from 1 µs to 4000 s up to 200 MHz of counting frequency. These models allows to use the board as a Multievent latching scaler housing up to 160 independent counting channels.

TDCs

TDCs

Channel Multihit TDC (25 ps) housed in a 1-unit wide VME 6U module. The channels can be enabled for the detection of hits rising/falling edges. The data acquisition can be programmed in Events or in Continuous Storage Mode.

Timing Units

Timing Units

Dual Timer and Delay Unit with completely passive delay via a set of calibrated coaxial cable stubs (50 Ohm). Output pulses are both provided normal and complementary.

Translators

Translators

1-unit wide VME module housing 8 independent logic level translators. Each of the 8 channels accepts a NIM or ECL signal and provides two NIM and two ECL outputs.

Signal Generators

Signal Generators

Clock Generator and FAN-OUT, LED and Ultra Violet LED Driver that can be operated as a signal or a clock fan-out from another external source. Compatible with A317 clock distribution cable.

VME / Optical Link / USB and Ethernet Bridges

VME / Optical Link / USB and Ethernet Bridges

CAEN Bridges are controllers with enhanced data rate and extended interfacing capabilities in VME, Desktop and PCIe form factors. Demos and Software tools included for all the possible experimental setup.
