AS5216 Microprocesssor Board
Avantes has recently developed a revolutionary new design electronics board to support a wide range of new detectors and both high speed (USB2.0) and wireless (Bluetooth®) communication.
The new AS5216 board is based on a powerful 5216 Coldfire processor running at 64 Mhz with 14-bit AD converter and USB2.0/RS232-interface. This new electronics board is part of the new AvaSpec-USB2 spectrometer family.
Different detector types can be connected to the electronics board, such as TAOS Photo Diode Arrays (TSL1301, TSL1401), Hamamatsu C-MOS detectors (S8378-256Q, S8378-1024Q), Sony CCD detectors (ILX554B), Toshiba CCD detectors (TCD-1304) and Hamamatsu InGaAs NIR detectors (G92xx series).
The board is equipped with an additional HD26 digital IO connector with 13 programmable IO ports (3 DI, 10 DO), 2 analog out ports and 2 analog in ports. One digital out port is used for controlling the flash rate of an external Xenon strobe (AvaLight-XE), one digital out port is used to control external TTL-shutter devices and one digital output is reserved for external control for flashing a laser source in LIBS applications. One digital in is used for external hardware trigger.
The AS5216 board can be synchronized with other AS5216 boards to control the simultaneous data-sampling of 2-128 channels, all connected to USB2.0 high speed interface.
On-board signal processing allows data reduction to speed up scan transfer time. Data reduction can be achieved by defining a start and stop pixel and On-Board Averaging.
Optionally, a Bluetooth® interface for wireless communication and on-board SDRAM card for stand-alone applications (no PC connected) is available.
The board can be operated by the extensive AS5216-DLL with many functions to control the electronics board and data sampling parameters (see software section).
