Introduction 1 Introduction The Model MCCD is a fast pulse distributor intended to be used with multiple MCS8A modules. It is also a very good general-purpose pulse generator when multiple synchronized jitter-free signals are required. It expands one common START signal to several synchronous starting MCS8A units. The introduced additional time jitter is typical less than 0.075 ps rms.
Hardware Description 2 Hardware Description 2.1 Overview The MCCD is a 8 output fast pulse driver with 60 ps rise time and a 8 output clock driver (TTL) with internal reference clock or ext input. 2.2 Front Panel, Trigger Fan-out Fig.
Hardware Description 2.3 Rear Panel, Clock Fan-out Fig. 2.3: The MCCD Rear Panel At the rear panel a clock source (TTL 3.3V, 10 to 120 MHz) can be distributed from a BNC connector labeled CLOCK IN to eight synchronous output signals at BNC connectors CLK1 - CLK8. Termination of the clock input can be set to 50 Ohm or 3 kOhm with JP2.
