Semiconductor applications for Berkeley Nucleonics Pulse and Digital Delay Generators

Semiconductor applications for Berkeley Nucleonics Pulse and Digital Delay Generators were discussed at the Shanghai Photonics conference last week. Teltec Semiconductor, Berkeley's local agent, gave product demonstrations to numerous R&D engineers developoing the next generation of wafer technology for a re-emerging semiconductor industry. New mobile applications and in-vehicle wi-fi systems lead the way as manufacturers find ways to adjust to new market needs.

The Berkeley Nucleonics Digital Delay Generators offer 8 channels of delay and width with resolution down to 1 picosecond. The BNC line also offers the worlds lowest trigger jitter which is measured under 10 picoseconds. The company offers a range of products from it's factory in California and through domestic and international service centers. The applications team at Berkeley Nucleonics is available by phone during the day or around the clock on the website by clicking LIVE HELP. For more, go to www.berkeleynucleonics.com

About Berkeley Nucleonics

Berkeley Nucleonics was founded in 1963 as a spin-off of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in Berkeley, California. The company manufactures lines of instrumentation for medical, nuclear, physics and chemistry fields. Customers are serviced by a network of approximately 50 international and domestic agents and service centers. The company is routinely cited for contributions to the advanced research of US federal agencies and various large academic institutions. New products for 2011 include a 16 Channel Pulse and Delay Generator, an Arbitrary Waveform Generator, a 40pS Universal Counter / Time Interval Counter and a growing line of 100MHz – 500MHz Oscilloscopes.

New Release of Labview Drivers

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC) has released a major update to Labview drivers for our Model 1105 Universal Frequency Counter and our Model 645 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The drivers can be download at the BNC’s website on product webpages or the National Instruments website (www.ni.com) by searching the BNC Model Numbers.

“We are excited to expand on this interface available for our customers. NI certified drivers are important for users in a wide range of applications, from generating signals for test or research to measuring scientific phenomena”, comments Mark Slattery, Application Engineer.

The Model 1105 has 12 digits of frequency resolution and 40ps of time interval resolution. The real-time DSP front-end facilitates faster measurement throughput, making the 1105 the most cost effective Universal Counter available.

The Model 645 50MHz Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator delivers many more features and additional user modes when compared to our previous models. With new manufacturing techniques, we are able to reduce cost and provide a low end user price. New DDS+ technology embraces advancements in the semiconductor industry and leverages state-of-the-art components for both standard and complex functions.

Berkeley Nucleonics attends CLEO 2010

During the CLEO 2010 conference, Berkeley Nucleonics demonstrated multi channel Digital Delay Generators with fast risetimes, low jitter and picosecond resolution. The company, a test and measurement manufacturer since 1963, also demonstrated the latest Arbitrary Waveform Generator released in the United States earlier this year. The Model 645 ARB / Function / Pulse Generator delivers 50MHz Pulse and Waveform options, and a 10MHz fully programmable Arbitrary function. The conference, celebrating 50 years of laser R&D, was attended by domestic and international organizations in the photonics industry. Conference Website.

BNC Outfits Lab with 32 Channels of Precision Timing

Berkeley Nucleonics, a manufacturer of pulse and delay generators, arbitrary waveform generators and frequency counters, was selected by a European research establishment to provide a large timing system for laser timing and triggering in new experimental efforts on high energy, high power lasers and hot plasmas. The timing of the BNC Model 588, which combines 8 channels of delay and width in a rack mount module less than 2 inches high, allows researchers to combine 100’s of channels of timing in a small area. The timing properties and features of the BNC Digital Delay Generators (250 picosecond resolution, improved 200 picosecond low jitter, channel by channel rate and amplitude selection). Major goal of research in this field include thermonuclear fusion for energy production, materials processing, physics of high-energy-density matter and planetary science.

Berkeley Nucleonics has a long history of supporting research in Europe. It’s first products were shipped to Germany in the 1960’s. Soon after, customers from the UK, France and Spain also began ordering Berkeley Nucleonics pulse and delay generators. The company has local service and support in 9 European Union member states and can address a broad range of customer and off-the-shelf test, measurement or nuclear instrumentation requirements.

Berkeley Nucleonics at the IEEE in Orlando

Another successful year for our pulse generators. The IEEE held it’s annual Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference last month. The community of engineers and physicists meet annually to discuss emerging technologies in the nuclear and medical electronics field. Berkeley Nucleonics demonstrated new neutron detectors, fast Arbitrary Waveform Generator, among new pulse generators and other flagship instruments. The next show will be at Knoxville, Tennessee for 2010 http://www.nss-mic.org/2010/. The Conference Chairs were from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The DOE is traditionally a large supporter of physics research and private industry. The exhibit hours were lengthened also this year, a move to accommodate a growing community in the field and increased attendee participation over last year.
