A -- HIGH SPEED DIGITIZER SYSTEM SOL CIT-98-171 DUE 121698 POC Christine Ramos, Technology Transfer Specialist, Civilian & Industrial Technology Program Office, Mail Stop C334, P.O. Box 1663, Los Alamos, NM 87545, Tel: (505) 665-6846, Fax: (505) 665-6127, E-mail: ctramos@lanl.gov E-MAIL: ctramos@lanl.gov, ctramos@lanl.gov. The University of California, which operates Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies wishing to collaborate, develop, and then market a high dynamic range, high speed digitizer system. The desired characteristics of this system include a one-shot sample rate of 500 Megasamples/second (minimum of 400 Megasamples/second) with an analog bandwidth of 150 MHz, a dynamic range of 12 bits (minimum of 10 bits), 1 Megabyte of 12 bit word memory, and multiple record capability on sequential triggers. One channel with a external trigger input is needed. Size and weight are not overly critical (obviously, the smaller the better), and commercial environmental specifications are acceptable. This system should be capable of stand alone operation with a GPIB or RS232 for PC interface, or, if possible, be designed as a plug in to a PC. Those companies interested in pursuing this opportunity should respond with a Letter of Interest that they satisfy the minimum criteria. The interested parties must possess, or have access to existing capabilities in research, development, marketing and support services in the domestic marketplace, preferably related to this technology. The collaborative partner will be selected based on a demonstrated expertise in a multitude of areas. The technical expertise and experience in the field of high-speed digitizers will be foremost in choosing a partner. The practical engineering of products along with proven reliability record will be considered. The selected company should be a recognized world leader in high speed digital products, with a proven track record of providing quality, flexible products. Previous experience with R&D project within the DOE complex is desirable. The company must have flexibility for accommodating changing parameters as the system is refined. Any interested organization selected as a partner will be expected to work under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) or a Funds-In Agreement (FIA) to continue the development of this technology and adaptations to other applications. The Letter of Interest must be received by close of business (5pm MST) December 16, 1998. Posted 12/01/98 (W-SN275977). (0335)
