Coincidence Trigger

A discrete trigger circuit is a fundamental part of a large detector system used to reduce the readout data rate. The following trigger is based on scintillator bars coupled with SiPM detectors.

Lab 8 - Measuring Time‐of‐Flight (ToF) and Time‐over‐Threshold (ToT)

In this lab, we extend our FPGA design to measure: ToF (Time of Flight): The time difference between an external reference signal (T0) and the main signal on the analog input.

Lab 10 - Timestamp and Time‐over‐Threshold with List Data Buffer

This example measures both Time over Threshold (ToT) for an analog signal and a Timestamp associated with each event. The design then stores (or “lists”) these measurements in a memory buffer for later readout.

Lab 11 - Python Readout, Decoding, and Plotting of ToF and ToT

In this lab, we build on Timestamp and Time‐over‐Threshold with List Data Buffer (Lab 10), where data from each event contains both ToT (Time‐over‐Threshold) and ToF (Time‐of‐Flight) values.

Lab 13 - Measuring Signal Amplitude via Peak Detection

This document describes how to measure the maximum amplitude (peak) of an incoming analog signal using Sci‐Compiler blocks. The system uses a Trigger block (with hysteresis) to detect and reset a Peak Detector, which then measures the highest value of the signal while a Timer defines the capture window.
