Introduction
.1 General Information
This manual is intended to assist users in the operation of the Frequency Divider ADD 1.7. It is divided into 4
chapters.
. General Overview of the System
The ADD 1.7 is a 16-fold frequency divider for digital signals with a LVTTL signal level. The package of the ADD
1.7 includes the ADD 1.7 and an AC-DC adapter with a special 5 pin plug for power supply.
.3 Safety Instructions
Please read this manual carefully before performing any electrical or electronic operations and strictly
follow the safety rules given within this manual.
Surface Concept declines all responsibility for damages or injuries caused by an improper use of the
module due to negligence on behalf of the User.
The following symbols appear throughout the manual:
The “note symbol” marks text passages, which contain important information/ hints
about the operation of the detector. Follow these information to ensure a proper
functioning of the detector.
The “caution symbol” marks warnings, which are given to prevent an accidentally
damaging of the detector or the readout system. Do NOT ignore these warnings and
follow them strictly. Otherwise no guarantee is given for arose damages.

3.3 Schematic Layout and Device Functioning
The 16-fold frequency divider has a BNC connector for the input signal which must be a low voltage (LV)TTL,
but is TTL tolerant. The frequency of the input signal is divided by a frequency dividing factor and is given out
on three BNC connectors which are connected via a -fold FAN OUT. The output signal is a LVTTL signal
again.
The frequency dividing factor can be switched between 1 (OFF) and 16 (ON).
The schematic layout of the ADD 1.7 is given below in Figure 2.

3.4 Power Supply
The operation power for the ADD 1.7 is +5V. It is provided via a wall power supply. Connect the wall power
supply to the round 5pin socket named “power” of the ADD 1.7. The pin configuration of the 5pin socket is
shown below in Figure .
