Pulse Synch Unit (PSU)

The Pulse Synchronization Unit (PSU) is a signaling control unit, designed for advanced synchronization, devices/units triggering, high speed pulse chains and arbitrary remote control applications. By means of its integrated Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) it acts as a master control unit capable of generating high speed pulse chains with exceptional accuracy for signaling, advanced timing, system level synchronization, and remote-control applications within high‑performance and demanding RF subsystems.

For high speed control and demanding RF systems, the PSU is capable of generating Low‑Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) pulse chains using its FPGA‑based architecture and distributing them through four independent output ports over standard shielded CAT5 cabling to remote peripheral boards. Each port drives 4 synchronized LVDS pulse chains, which are converted by the Peripheral Boards into Transistor‑Transistor Logic (TTL) signals for local high speed RF devices control. Configuration and control are performed via Ethernet using Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) through MVG software or via standard Application Programming Interface (API). The PSU is available with battery backup option, allowing continued operation during power interruption.
