A Very Low Power, Highly Integrated Multichannel Scaler
Multichannel Scaler (MCS) electronics are often used in lidar-based photon counting applications. The NASA SBIR Phase-I effort resulted in a highly integrated, low power, USB-based MCS hardware prototype and Windows-based software. The Phase-II project focused on expanding the Phase-I MCS development in creating a complete flexible lidar data acquisition “system-on-a-card." Key motivations in t...
متن کاملData-driven ASIC for Multichannel Sensors
An approach and its implementation in 0.18 μm CMOS process of the multichannel ASIC for capacitive (up to 30 pF) sensors are described in the paper. The main design aim was to study an analog data-driven architecture. The design was done for an analog derandomizing function of the 128 to 16 structure. That means that the ASIC structure should provide a parallel front-end readout of 128 input an...
متن کاملA two-dimensional multi-detector multichannel scaler for double modulation time-of-flight data acquisition
Abstract. A novel two-dimensional multichannel scaler is described, providing an inexpensive method for recording double modulated time-of-flight spectra generated by a 16-element multi-detector array. The design uses a hardware first stage implemented with programmable logic and a software second stage, running on a digital signal processing board. The hardware stage can count at a peak event ...
متن کاملSCHEMBARI – XXVIII Cycle “ Development and Characterization of a Low Noise Multichannel Readout ASIC for X and -
This Doctoral activity aims at the study and development of Xand gamma-ray detection systems based on Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) for diverse applications in the field of radiation detection instrumentation. Silicon Drift Detectors, invented by E. Gatti and P. Rehak in 1983 are now widely used detectors for applications demanding low-noise, high-rate soft X-ray detection solutions. In additi...
متن کاملMultichannel photon counting instrument for spatially resolved near infrared spectroscopy
We have developed a multichannel photon counting instrument for near infrared spatially resolved spectroscopy. The instrument uses two laser diodes at 780 and 830 nm. The two wavelengths are time multiplexed at a rate of 5 MHz for virtually simultaneous measurements at the two wavelengths. The photon pulses are then multiplexed with an optical switch so that the incident optical signals are dir...
