2.3 General Overview of the System
The Surface Concept SC-TDC-1000 S device in Release 012 is a 8 stop input channel (08S) and in Release
022 a 16 stop input channel (16S) Time-to-Digital Converter with an integrated FPGA board and a USB3.0
interface in a stand alone table top housing. The SC-TDC-1000 S device in Release 013 is comparable to the
R012 but comes in a 19“ rack mount housing.
The devices in sub-releases 10 and 85 come with basic functionalities, while the devices in sub-release E8
come with additional inputs (like TAG IN, ADC IN) for an extended measurement functionality.
The SC-TDC-1000 S Series is laid out for low voltage (LV)TTL signals on BNC connectors for all inputs and
outputs. All LVTTL signal inputs are TTL tolerant.
The SC-TDC-1000 S device in Release 042 is a special version of the Release 022 with modified start and
stop input channels. It is laid out for NIM signal levels on LEMO 00 type connectors for all stop and the
start inputs. All additional input signals are still laid out for LVTTL signal levels on BNC connectors. The SC-
TDC-1000 S device in Release 042 is only available in sub-release 10 (see
Chapter 4.2
).
Do not open the device, while it is in operation. Hazardous voltages are present. In case
that the device must be opened, turn off the device first AND pull out the power plug.
