The Fan In – Fan Out Units family provides flexible signal distribution and combination capabilities for trigger, timing, and detector readout systems. These modules replicate, sum, and route logic signals across multiple outputs while preserving timing integrity and minimizing propagation delays. Designed for laboratory and experiment integration, they enable the implementation of OR logic, signal duplication, and synchronized distribution across multiple channels or subsystems.

In addition to fixed-function fan-in/fan-out units, the family includes programmable logic platforms capable of implementing custom routing, coincidence logic, gate and delay functions, and complex signal conditioning. With support for multiple logic standards and configurable architectures, these instruments are well suited for building scalable trigger and distribution networks in modern nuclear and particle physics setups.

  • Multi-channel signal distribution and OR logic with low propagation delay

  • Configurable fan-in/fan-out architectures for trigger and timing signal routing

  • Support for NIM/TTL/ECL/LVDS logic standards and mixed-signal environments

  • Programmable logic options for advanced routing, coincidence, and gate/delay functions
