Fast Digitizer Card With Integrated Peak Analysis Algorithm

Abstract

The newly developed spectrometric system combines a digital multichannel analyzer and peak analysis. The fast digital (FD) card is built on programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and fast 12-bit analog-digital convertor (ADC) with a sampling frequency of (100 - 1000) MS/s. The FD card contains integrated high voltage module, preamplifier, digital interface for communication with a PC and advanced algorithms for peak analysis of the measured spectra. This system can be integrated directly into radiation detectors and perform spectrometric measurements and evaluations.
