    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION The Model 1110 ADC/TDC Tester is a programmable Pulse Generator in a VME 6U x 160mm single width package, primarily designed as a test instrument for servicing VME ADCs and TDCs. START and STOP outputs are included for testing TDCs. The time difference between these outputs is programmable with a 16-bit DAC.

    2.4.2 Charge Fanout Header The 1110 has a 16 channel fan-out. The signal pin is on left side of the connector; the right side is tied to ground. It is programmable in 4 ranges: 0 to 300 pC, 0 to 600 pC, 0 to 900 pC, and 0 to 1200 pC.
  • Page 13: Installation

    INSTALLATION GENERAL Before inserting the Model 1110 VME ADC/TDC Tester into any VME crate, the base address must first be set. The 8-position DIP switch defines the module VME address, decoded from address lines A16 to A24; e.g., for Address 0x00, set SW1 to SW8 to be CLOSED (UP at the OPEN end of switch).
  • Page 15: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 VME ADDRESS MAP The Model 1110 occupies the following VME A24 address space (hexadecimal): Base address + 0x0000 to 0x0006 The internal memory map in hexadecimal is as follows: Base Address + 0x0000: Trigger Register Base Address + 0x0002: Width DAC Register...
  • Page 16: Charge Dac Register Operation

    For the timing output (numbers 1 and 2 above), the full scale width is 2400 ns, with an LSB of ~36.6 ps. The formula for calculating the appropriate DAC codes and output widths are: DAC Code = 65535 * (Desired Value in ns) / 2400 For the DAC output (number 3 above), the range is 0 to 10 V, with an LSB of ~0.15 mV.
