Test Card Measurements

OptoFast-TestSetup-720px.jpg

Setup

  • Goal was to determine the performance of the OPTOFAST card
  • 5V operation
  • Same 5V input/output power supply
  • Each of the channels were configured uniquely/individually
  • MHS-5200A - Digital DDS Dual-channel Signal Generator
    • 1 KHz square wave
    • 5V signal level
  • Single channel checked at a time
  • Oscilloscope
    • Rigol DS1054Z
    • 50 MHz
    • Ultra Sigma software used for screen captures

Notes

  • Note that the input buffer transistor inverts the signal
  • Built a card that has four different configurations
  • Options
    • Fast/Slow
    • Direct drive input LED/Transistor Buffered input

Test Results

Channel Fast/Slow TransBuff/Direct Input Rise/Fall Time(uS)
