TDC for single-beam laser systems

14 November 2018 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

The new AS6501 from ams is a two-channel time-to-digital converter (TDC) which enables high-speed scanning and high precision in single-beam optical ranging equipment and medical imaging systems. It features high-speed LVDS interfaces for the start and stop signals at the light source in optical ranging equipment and scanners, and LVDS measurement outputs. It can be used to measure the time-of-flight of optical signals to a precision of 20 ps per channel, or 10 ps in dual-channel high-resolution mode, and captures measurements at very high speeds of up to 70 MSps. The AS6501 can also be used in designs based on a microcontroller which require a serial peripheral interface (SPI).
