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.
