The AS-5216 is 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 AS-5216 board is based on a powerful 5216 Coldfireâ processor, running at 64 Mhz, 16-bit AD converter and USB2.0/RS232-interface. The AS-5216 electronics board is part of the AvaSpec-USB2 platform spectrometers.
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), Hamamatsu back-thinned CCD detector (S9840) and Hamamatsu InGaAs NIR detectors (G92xx series).
For the Hamamatsu back-thinned detector a separate power converter board is needed and for the NIR detector 2.2/2.5µm a separate TE controller board is needed.
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, 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 AS-5216 board can be synchronized with other AS-5216 boards to control the simultaneous data-sampling of 2-127 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. Optional a Bluetoothâ interface for wireless communication and on-board SD card for stand-alone applications (no PC connected) is available.
The board can be operated by the extensive AS-5216-DLL with many functions to control the electronics board and data sampling parameters (see software section).
