MSC STK-TDC502

Get to know our TDC502 - fast and easy!

Our TDC502 starter kit enables you to achieve accurate measurement results in the twinkling of an eye: As soon as you connect the kit to your application and start the kit's software, your first measurement results will come by.

The kit's SMB measurement-inputs are CMOS-compliant and qualified for 3.3V and 5V signals. A power supply unit is included in delivery as well as SMB measurement cables.

Thanks to its USB-interface the starter kit communicates with almost every PC or notebook. An other version of our starter kit communicates via a serial RS232 interface. The starter kit software was written in C# programming language. The kit's C# source code is included in shipment as well as a well documented TDC-library with special functions. So it's an easy job - even for hardware engineers - to adapt the software to your application requirements.

The kit's software includes a wide range of programmer examples, starting with single shot measurements or how to find out the TDC's resolution, up to series of up to 2000 speedy measurements. If you get stuck when writing your own software program, detailed debug information will assist you to get on.

Designed for your easy success in integrating the TDC502 into your application, the starter kit documentation includes the evaluation board's schematics and layout draws as well as heplful design hints.

As a matter of course our hotline and email contact with the kit's and TDC developers is available to you for technical support. Longing for your success we will keep you up to date - concerning both, hardware and software.
