Coming Soon
Highland designs products based on customer and market demand. Feedback about future projects including interest, date of availability, specifications, etc. is instrumental to project planning. Suggestions for future projects are also carefully considered by both marketing and engineering personnel. E-mail all feedback concerning future Highland products to Highland's Engineering Department or call us directly at 415-551-1700.The V120 allows a PCI Express host system to control a VME crate, allowing customers to take advantage of the widely available VME I/O infrastructure without the difficulties of running a separate single-board computer. VME address space is mapped directly into host memory, with total window size options suitable for either 32-bit or 64-bit host OSes. Highland’s proprietary PCIe-VME bridge architecture allows for programmable bus access speeds on a per-region basis to allow access to legacy VME cards without burdening throughput for faster, more modern cards, and a built-in bus access monitor simplifies debugging of VME problems.
Options under consideration include:
- Secondary “slot 2” mastering
- Crate status monitoring for voltage, current, and temperature
- Secondary Ethernet interface
- 4x, 8x PCIe lane options
The Highland Technology PH220 is the second product in the 'PH' line of extreme-performance photonic instruments. The PH220 Quantum-Limited Nanowatt Photoreceiver, designed by Phil Hobbs, provides near shot noise performance in a rugged, ultra-compact package. Bandwidth is greater than 1 MHz, with minimal loss of linearity or dynamic range for 10nA to 100µA signals. The innovative design uses a photon feedback amplifier and novel transimpedance amplifier (TIA) that minimizes the gain-bandwidth trade-off.

The T680 contains five wide-range time stampers. Each channel can snapshot the time of the rising edge of one electrical input, to 15.25 picosecond resolution with 48 bit range. In time-stamp mode, individual time stamps may be read. In TIC mode, channel 0 may be used as the "start" time reference for channels 1-4, with the option to acquire times after or before/after the start event.
The PH945 is a new photodiode pre-amplifier with 1x and 100x outputs. An internal low-pass filter in conjunction with clean-clipping circuitry enables low-level signal zooming within 12 nanoseconds following a high-level pulse event on the high-gain output.

The V250 is a 64-channel VME digital input/output module. It features 64 digital I/O pins that can be independently programmed as high-power open-drain relay drivers, active pullup logic levels from 0 to +10 volts, or active LED/SSR drivers. As inputs, logic levels and contact closures can be accepted, with programmable debounce on every pin.
Estimated Arrival: Q2 2012The V545 simulates magnetic position or angle transducers such as LVDTs, RVDTs, sychros, and resolvers. Each of the 24 isolated channels can serve as either a reference input or a signal source; simulated transducers can be generated by linking any outputs to any sources. Internal references can also be generated.
Estimated Arrival: Q1 2012The V235 features 64 differential input channels with selectable bipolar input ranges from ±10V to 0.1V. The inputs are scanned at 1 Msps and feed their results into a dedicated processing engine with advanced filtering and AC signal analysis capabilities. Optional in-crate calibration and built-in self-test are available.
Estimated Arrival: Q3 2012
