ABOUT 3660
The Model 3660 is a single-width CAMAC module providing a very flexible programmable multi-step clock generator for clocking ADCs and other front-end data acquisition modules. It provides a programmable sequence of clock ratesfor applications requiring different sampling rates during different phases of data collection and the ability to synchronize data sampling with an externaltrigger as well as dividing down an external clock source.

The 3660 provides storage for sequences as long as 256 steps where the frequency and duration of each step can be programmed. The module derives the output clock from one of three sources: a 10 MHz crystal clock, a 10.24 MHzcrystal clock, or an external clock. Each step is defined by a division factor by which the base clock is divided. The duration of each step is determined by an associated count or external trigger. In the case of external trigger, the next step is initiated synchronously with the second tick of the base clock. An optional LAM can be generated at the end of any step to signal the host processor that a new step has been initiated. The current frequency division, current step, amperes count, previous step sample count, and program step address are directly accessible registers.

 

Features
  • Programmable frequency sequence of up to 256 steps
  • Programmable frequency range from 0.5961 Hz to 10.00 MHz
  • Strobe and gate outputs to delineate groups of output clocks (steps) programmable by number of clocks per group, number of external input triggers, or CAMAC command
  • Optional LAM generation at end of each program step
Applications
  • Programmable transient recorder clock
  • Programmable clock for data acquisition
  • Synchronized data acquisition e.g. from shaft encoder
