A422A
Charge Sensitive Preamplifier with Timing (Box)
Features
- Positive or negative input signals
- Energy sensitivity range of 5, 30 or 60 mV/MeV (Si)
- Low noise
- Timing output
- Up to 5 kV (positive or negative) detector bias voltage
Overview
The CAEN Mod. A422A is a charge sensitive preamplifier, designed to be used especially with semiconductor detectors and in particular whenever the charge division is required (as in position sensitive silicon detectors). The unit accepts both positive and negative input pulses. A Test input for detector gain calibration and a HV input (up to 5 kV) for the detector bias are also included.
The output is an inverting unipolar voltage pulse, proportional in amplitude to the integrated charge; decay time is 300 µs. A Timing output provides an unipolar inverting fast voltage pulse, with a 15 ns typical rise time, across a 50 Ω load. Three different sensitivities (5, 30 or 60 mV/MeV) can be selected.
Technical Specifications
