Table 2.1: Mod. N1145 Technical Features 

Packaging

 

Two units wide NIM module 

Inputs 

1 NIM/TTL level input per section,

 50 

 impedance; 

min. FWHM: 2 ns

1

 (sections 1 ÷ 4), 3 ns (section 5) 

Comm. Reset 

1 NIM/TTL input, 

50 

 impedance; clears sections from 1 to 4, 

min. FWHM: 3 ns 

 

Gate 

Section 1 and 3: 2 bridged high-impedance NIM/TTL inputs  
Section 2 and 4: 

50 

  impedance NIM/TTL input 

Control 
inputs 

Load 

1 NIM/TTL input, loads counter with value set on thumb-wheel 
switches, min. FWHM: 3 ns 

Carry  
(Section 2 and 4) 

std. NIM level; two sections can be cascaded by feeding first 
CARRY into the input of the second section, thereby making a 
16-digit counter 

End marker 

1 NIM output; a pulse is generated when the counter reaches 
zero. Pulse width can be adjusted by turning the front panel 
trimmer (50 ns to 1 µs)  

Control 
outputs 

Out

 

2 NIM outputs; are true as long as counter's value differs from 
zero 

Sections 1 to 4 

250 MHz

 

Max. 
frequency 

Section 5 

80 MHz

 

 
 

 

                                                             

1

 

FWHM

 is 2.2 ns when GATE + CLEAR mode (see § 3.1) is used.
