USB interface for Medipix detectors

USB interface is an alternative interface to MUROS2 (developed in NIKHEF) for Medipix2 data readout and acquisition control. It was designed with accent to the independence to the external power supplies and to the reduction of interface dimensions for maximum portability. The interface can be controlled by Pixelman software.

Versions:

Version 1.1	First version distributed to Medipix2 users. Supports all versions of Medipix2. TimePix support is just partial.	In stock
Version 1.2	Slightly improved version: Power voltage recovery implemented.	Abandoned
Version 1.22	Currently distributed version. Full support of TimePix with selectable clock frequency (10, 20, 40 and 80 MHz), spectroscopic module integrated.	In stock
Lite Ver. 1.3	Very compact size of 60 x 15 mm.. The interface (ver. 1.2) and Medipix2 (MXR) chip share the same PCB. Spectroscopic module integrated. Pict: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]	First batch being manufactured
RUIN Ver. 2.0	DSP driven. Equiped with 128 MB memory DDR2, USB2.0 interface and 1 Gbps ethernet adapter. Supports all chips and comunication modes (serial and parallel) at highest frequencies supported by chip itself. Prototype is fully tested.	Preparation phase
FITPix Ver. 1.0	FPGA driven, USB2.0 interface. Supports all chips (Medipix2, Timepix, Medipix3). Uses serial interface allowing 90 frames per second (for single chip).	Order here
