Many thanks for your replies, Bob and Prof Inggs. Now we have a better idea how to tackle the issue. Cheers. On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 12:37 PM Michael Inggs wrote: > Hi Nitish > > I am sure the Meinberg TTL will battle to drive 20 mA into the SNAP. It > is probably rated at a few TTL loads. >

For the time reference this one was suggested on an earlier discussion…. http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index=107=468ab2632bba5b5ffe4d2fe7d8bb19e2 If you need to reduce cost even more you can find GPS based 1PPS sources on ebay.

[casper] SNAP Board clocking for a low-frequency array

2018-10-19 Thread Nitish Ragoomundun
Hi all, We are building a low-frequency array for the observation of the deuterium hyperfine line at 327.4 MHz with a bandwidth of 250 kHz. We intend to use SNAPs for acquisition. The boards will operate at full 12 channels input, thus the ADCs at 250 MSps. We will subsequently decimate the data
