Charge Sensitive Amplifier. This increase appears at the output substantially amplified and inverted. To my chagrin this circuit performs almost as well as a more complicated circuit using an expensive 300 v usec opamp.
The csp consists of an input transistor and an operational amplifier in the second stage. It is indicated for applications where a small number of detector channels do not need a monolithic solution. Normally this then goes to discrimination circuits or a multi channel analyzer.
The amplifier is able to convert the very small charge stored within an in pixel capacitor to a voltage level that can be easily processed.
It is indicated for applications where a small number of detector channels do not need a monolithic solution. Abstract we present a charge sensitive preamplifiers csp based on a very simple design. It is indicated for applications where a small number of detector channels do not need a monolithic solution. Their design offers low noise stability and their integrating nature provides an output proportional to the total charge flowing from the detector during the pulse event.
