12-bit A/D and D/A converter modules

he LTX-5520s conveys sixteen independent channels of digital information
over a ber optic link ranging from meters to more than 10 kilometers.

Each of the 16 incoming TTL channels is sampled at 5 x 107 times per
second, multiplexed and transmitted serially over an optical ber at one
gigabit per second. The receiver acquires this digital data and de-multiplexes
it to 16 separate output ports. Each of these channels may be toggled at
rates ranging from 0 - 25 Mb/S.
Two models are available. Selection depends on the ber type and the length
of the ber optic link that is required. The LTX-5520-850 transmits at 850
nM over multimode ber optic links of up to 500 meters in length, while
the LTX-5520-1310 transmits at 1310 nm over single-mode ber to span
distances exceeding 10 kilometers.

The LTX-5510 precision analog ber optic link was the rst in our series of
“Signal Transporters”. It digitizes an analog signal at a 50 Ms/S rate with
12-bit precision and reconstructs it at the LTX-5510 receiver by means
of a fast D/A converter. If the user employs the LTX-5520 receiver with
the LTX-5510 transmitter, the result is a remote ber-coupled 12-bit data
acquisition system.
Similarly one can employ the LTX-5520 transmitter with the LTX-5510 receiver
to generate fast high-resolution analog signals at a remote location.
Applications include data acquisition for plasma physics experiments, signal
transmission and control of equipment at high voltage potentials, operation
through Faraday shields, and precise noise-free signal transmission in hostile
EMI environments.
