Overview of the fADC
Flash Analog/Digital Converter


The fADC converter, developed by Indiana University , is able to convert analog pulses into digital data every 4 nanoseconds. In that amount of time, light travels a bit longer than a meter. This means the beginning of this pulse shown on the left is roughly 3 meters ahead of the end of the peak of the pulse.

The fADC works in both a Root and CODA. They both interface with the same driver.
