T200/N
FAST TRIGGER MODULE
CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The T200/N Fast Counting Discriminator Module (Figure 1) is a direct-coupled
fast counting and timing discriminator. The T200/N produces an output signal
having a pulse width of either 3 nSec or 5 nSec for each input signal that
exceeds the threshold level. The input bandpass characteristic, which is
essentially flat, permits the T200/N to be level sensitive, without risetime
dependence, and results in precise subnanosecond timing with minimal slewing.
