Specialized integrated circuit for position sensitive counting detectors

Abstract

The paper proposes a multichannel application specialized integrated circuit (ASIC) for recording and processing signals from microstrip sensors in synchrotron radiation position sensitive detectors developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia) for the Siberian Circular Photon Source experimental stations. The ASIC contains 64 independent photon recording channels with 4 energy separation thresholds. The energy range is 3 to 60 keV. The structure and main parameters of the recording channel electronics are described in detail.
