Spectrometric electronics

We offer a set of modular electronic instruments that together with Tukan8k multichannel analyser make up a complete spectrometer of ionising radiation. The set consists of a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector, a HV power supply, and a spectrometric pulse amplifier. Each module is implemented on a 3U x 220 mm printed circuit board. All modules are housed together in a standard EURO 3U cassette.

Noise (at 2 μs shaping, gain >100 V/V)    ≤ 8 µV RMS related to input
Polarity of input pulses +/–, tailing time constant ≥ 40 μs
Output pulses unipolar/bipolar, linear up to 10V
Additional features: Pole-zero compensation circuit (P/Z)
Gated base-line restorer circuit
