Number

can

be

assigned

to

the

unit.

Also,

ORTEC

must

be

informed,

either

in

writing,

by

telephone

[(865)

482-4411]

or

by

facsimile

transmission

[(865)

ORTEC

MODEL

418A

UNIVERSAL

COINCIDENCE

1.

DESCRIPTION

1.1.

GENERAL

The

ORTEC

418A

is

a

coincidence

unit

with

five

inputs.

Each

input

has

a

three-position

switch

associated

with

it

to

select

the

COINCIDENCE,

ANTICOINCIDENCE,

or

OFF

mode.

The

resolving

time

of

Input

A

is

controlled

by

a

front-panel

potentiometer

and

is

continuously

variable

from

100

ns

to

2

ps.

The

remaining

four

inputs

are

de

coupled

and

their

resolving

times

are

determined

by

their

input

pulse

widths.

By

means

of

a

front-panel

switch

1,2,3,4,

or

5

coincident

pulses

may

be

required

for

an

output

and

all

five

inputs

are

used

in

the

coincident

mode,

an

output

pulse

w

ill

be

obtained

when

a

coincident

occurs

between

anv

two

inputs.

Input

A

is

particularly

useful

for

anticoincidence

and

coincidence

strobe

operations

because

of

its

variable

resolving

time;

e.g.,

this

input

can

be

used

in

the

anticoincidence

m

ode

to

block

two

500-ns-wide

input

pulses

without

additional

external

pulse-shaping

equipment.

Two

positive

output

pulses

are

provided

on

BNC

connectors,

one

front

panel

and

one

rear

panel.

These

pulses

are

normally

500

ns

wide

but

their

width

can

be

altered

as

desired

by

changing

a

capacitor.

1.2.

BASIC

FUNCTION

The

418A

employs

an

"overlap"

type

of

coincidence

circuit.

Each

input

pulse

is

regenerated

into

a

current

pulse

which

has

a

fast

rise

and

fall

time.

These

current

pulses

are

fed

into

an

AND

circuit

which

produces

an

output

when

an

overlap

occurs.

The

width

of

the

current

pulse

from

Input

A

is

controlled

by

a

front-panel

potentiometer

and

can

be

varied

from

100

ns

to

2

jJs.

The

current

pulses

from

the

remaining

inputs

are

the

same

width

as

their

associated

input

pulses

at

the

1.8-V

level.

Since

these

inputs

are

dc-coupled,

their

current

pulses

can

be

made

infinitely

long

by

the

application

of

a

dc

voltage

to

the

input.

The

routing

of

the

individual

current

is

controlled

by

front-panel

toggle

switches.

They

can

be

routed

to

the

COINCIDENCE

or

AND

circuit,

ground

(OFF

position),

or

the

ANTICOINCIDENCE

circuit.

The

front-panel

COINCIDENCE

REQUIREMENTS

switch

alters

the

AND

circuits

so

that

1,2,3,4,

or

5

coincident

current

pulses

are

required

to

produce

an

output:

therefore

the

number

of

INPUT

CONTROL

toggle

switches

in

the

COINCIDENCE

position

must

be

equal

to

or

greater

than

the

number

selected

by

the

COINCIDENCE

REQUIREMENTS

switch

in

order

for

the

unit

to

produce

an

output.

A

current

pulse

routed

to

the

anticoincidence

circuit

blocks

all

pulses

routed

to

the

coincidence

circuit

for

the

duration

of

the

anticoincidence

pulse.

When

the

coincidence

requirements

are

met,

a

500-ns-wide

output

pulse

is

generated.

The

width

of

this

pulse

can

be

changed

as

desired

by

changing

the

value

of

capacitor

C9.

INSTALLATION

3.1.

GENERAL

The

418A,

used

in

conjunction

with

a

4001A/4002A

Bin

and

Power

Supply,

is

intended

for

rack

mounting;

therefore

any

vacuum

tube

equipment

operating

in

the

same

rack

must

be

sufficiently

cooled

with

circulating

air

to

prevent

any

localized

heating

of

the

all-transistor

circuitry

used

throughout

the

418A.

The

temperature

of

the

equipment

mounted

in

racks

can

easily

exceed

the

recommended

maximum

of

120°F

(50°C)

unless

precautions

are

taken.

3.2.

CONNECTION

TO

POWER

Because

the

418A

contains

no

internal

power

supply,

it

must

obtain

operating

power

from

the

Nuclear

Standard

Bin

and

Power

Supply

such

as

ORTEC

4001A/4002A.

It

is

recommended

that

the

bin

power

supply

be

turned

off

when

modules

are

inserted

or

removed.

The

ORTEC

NIM

modules

are

designed

so

that

it

is

not

possible

to

overload

the

NIM

power

supply

with

a

full

complement

of

modules

in

the

bin.

Since,

however,

this

may

not

be

true

when

the

bin

contains

modules

other

than

those

of

ORTEC

design,

power

supply

voltages

should

be

checked

after

the

modules

are

inserted.

ORTEC

4001A/4002A

has

test

points

on

the

power

supply

control

panel

to

monitor

the

dc

voltages.

3.3.

LOGICINPUTS

TO

THE

COINCIDENCE

UNIT

The

input

pulses

to

the

418A

may

come

from

any

source

of

logic

pulses.

The

input

impedance

is

approximately

2000Q,

and

some

care

must

be

given

to

ensure

that

reflections

do

not

occur

in

the

driving

transmission

cable.

Reflections

can

probably

best

be

avoided

by

terminating

the

driving

cable

at

the

inputs

with

the

characteristic

impedance

of

the

driving

cable.

The

amplitude

and

width

of

the

input

signals

are

specified

in

Section

2.2.

INPUT

A

RESOLVING

TIME

CONTROL

Each

input

pulse

is

regenerated

into

a

current

pulse

with

fast

rise

and

fall

times.

The

width

of

the

current

pulse

from

INPUT

A

is

continuously

variable

from

100

ns

to

2

fJ.

The

current

pulses

from

the

remaining

inputs

are

the

same

width

of

these

current

pulses

at

the

1.8-V

level.

The

width

of

these

current

pulses

determines

the

resolving

of

the

unit.

INPUT

A

RESOLVING

TIME

control

is

especially

useful

when

INPUT

A

is

used

in

the

e.g.,

this

input

can

be

used

to

block

two

500-ns-wide

pulses

without

additional

external

pulse

shaping

equipment.

COINCIDENCE

REQUIREMENTS

The

position

of

this

switch

determines

the

number

of

e.g.,

if

this

switch

is

in

are

in

the

COINCIDENCE

position,

an

output

pulse

will

be

pr

educed

when

any

two

input

pulses

are

in

coincidence.

In

order

to

obtain

an

output

pulse,

the

number

of

input

control

switches

in

the

COINCIDENCE

position

must

always

be

equal

toggle

switches

determines

the

routing

of

the

signal

applied

to

its

associated

input

connector.

The

three

positions

of

each

switch

and

their

function

are:

1.

COINCIDENCE

-

Input

signal

is

routed

to

the

coincidence

portion

of

the

circuit.

2.

OUT

-

Input

signal

is

routed

to

ground;

therefore

it

does

not

affect

the

coincidence

or

anticoincidence

portion

of

the

circuit

and

is

completely

out

of

the

system.

3.

ANTICOINCIDENCE

-

Input

signal

is

routed

to

the

anticoincidence

portion

of

the

circuit

and

will

block

all

coincidence

signals

for

the

duration

of

the

anticoinicdence

signal,

except

for

INPUT

A,

for

which

the

blocking

time

is

a

function

of

the

front-

panel

RESOLVING

TIME

control.

Any

combination

of

switch

positions

may

be

used;

however,

an

output

pulse

can

be

obtained

onlv

when

the

number

of

input

controls

in

the

COINCIDENCE

positions

is

equal

to

or

exceeds

the

number

selected

by

the

COINCIDENCE

REQUIREMENTS

switch.

CONNECTOR

DATA

INPUT

A

is

a

front-panel

BNC

connector

de

coupled

to

the

internal

circuitry

and

has

an

impedance

to

ground

greater

than

1.5

kO.

To

minimize

reflections

when

driving

from

a

low-

impedance

source

into

this

connector,

a

terminator

equal

to

the

characteristics

impedance

of

the

driving

cable

should

be

shunted

to

ground.

A

positive

2-V

signal

with

a

minimum

width

of

50

ns

is

required

to

trigger

the

input

circuit.

The

resolving

time

of

INPUT

A

can

be

varied

from

ICQ

ns

to

2

|J

by

the

INPUT

A

RESQLVING

TIME

control.

INPUTS

B,C,D,E

-

Same

as

INPUT

A,

except

that

the

resolving

time

is

set

by

the

input

pulse

width.

OUTPUTS

Two

separate,

buffered,

dc-coupled

coincidence

outputs

are

provided

on

BNC

connectors.

The

output

pulses

are

5

V

in

amplitude

and

500

ns

wide.

The

output

pulse

width

can

be

altered

as

desired

by

changing

capacitor

09.

The

amplitude

can

be

increased

by

increasing

the

value

of

R75.

TEST

POINT

An

oscilloscope

test

point

is

provided

for

monitoring

the

output

signals.

The

test

point

has

a

470Q

resistor

connecting

it

to

the

associated

BNC

output

connector

on

the

front

panel.

TYPICAL

OPERATING

CONSIDERATIONS

The

coincidence

circuit

is

an

overlap

type

or

it

can

be

described

as

an

AND

circuit.

The

2

T

resolving

time

of

INPUT

A

is

determined

by

the

INPUT

A

RESQLVING

TIME

control.
