8550 Series High-Channel-Count OEM Pulse Generator Board  

Scalable Precision Timing for 12, 24 or 36 Synchronized Outputs 

The 8550 Series is designed for OEM instruments and research systems that need high-channel-count pulse generation from a single, coordinated timing platform.

Available with 12, 24 or 36 independent outputs, the 8550 provides 250 ps delay and pulse-width resolution, less than 50 ps channel-to-channel jitter and repetition rates up to 20 MHz. Dual inputs, external clock synchronization and flexible TTL/CMOS or adjustable outputs support complex triggering, gating, sequencing and synchronization requirements across multiple devices or system functions.

Choose the 8550 when your application has outgrown a 4- or 8-channel timing board and requires a scalable architecture that maintains consistent control across a larger number of synchronized outputs.

One Timing Platform for Complex Multichannel Systems

Using a unified high-channel-count platform can simplify communication, programming, synchronization and system architecture compared with coordinating multiple independent timing instruments or boards. The 8550 is suited for complex laser systems, detector arrays, imaging systems, automated testing, large data-acquisition platforms and other applications in which many events must be precisely coordinated.

OEM Engineering and Customization

Quantum Composers can support system integration beyond the standard board configuration. Depending on project scope, available engineering services may include firmware changes, software integration, FPGA development, communication interfaces, output configurations, connector selection, mechanical packaging and private-label production.

Provide your required channel count, timing performance, outputs, interfaces and physical constraints so our team can evaluate the standard 8550 or a modified OEM solution.


A unified timing platform can reduce communication complexity, simplify programming and support coordinated control across the complete output set. The 8550 is designed for applications where channel scale is part of the system architecture—not an afterthought.
