System Components
The PI-3105 is an integrated subsystem, comprising the following components:
- Analog Components
- PI-315x Pre-amplifier Module
- x=0 for Dewar-mount module
- x=1 for PCB-mount module
- PI-3100 Acquisition Interface Module (AIM)
- PI-41010 Gain/Filter Board
- PI-410x0-y A/D Converter Module
- x=2 for 14-bit/40+ MHz*
- x=4 for 14-bit/10 MHz
- x=6 for 16-bit/2 MHz*
- y=1 for Correlated Double-Sampling (CDS)
- y=0 for no CDS
- PI-3103A Analog Power Supply
- CompactPCI Components
Please see below for several sample configurations, then contact our sales department for further assistance in configuring a
system.
They PI-3150 requires several timing signals (frame-sync, line-sync, and
pixel clock) that can be provided either by the PI-2005
Pattern Generator or by a third-party pulse/pattern generator.
* These items are in development, and will be available shortly.

PI-41000-512 |
Dual Channel Digital Acquisition Card with 512 MB DRAM |
| 1 |
PI-41100-4 |
Timing/Control Card with 4 timing channels |
The system described above will acquire data from a 4-output focalplane array
mounted in a Dewar. Four pre-amplifier modules, attached directly to the Dewar,
will drive the inputs of the Gain/Filter stages and A/D modules in the
AIM.
Four digitized outputs from the AIM will be multiplexed into a single input
of the Digital Acquisition Card, and then transferred to the CompactPCI CPU for
processing and display.
The Timing and Control card in the CompactPCI chassis will control of gain,
filtering and strobe timing for each channel as well as the global offset.
PI-Controller software is included.

PI-41100-16 |
Timing/Control Card with 16 timing channels |
The system described above will acquire data from an 8-output CCD mounted on
a test fixture board. Eight board-mounted pre-amplifier modules will drive the
inputs of the Gain/Filter stages and A/D modules in two AIMs.
Four digitized outputs from each AIM will be multiplexed into each of two
inputs on the Digital Acquisition Card, and then transferred to the CompactPCI
CPU for processing and display.
The Timing and Control card in the CompactPCI chassis will control of gain,
filtering, strobe timing, and CDS timing for each channel as well as the global
offset.
