A fully programmable 16 channel spectroscopy amplifier in a single NIM unit

A 16 channel programmable spectroscopy amplifier having high performances has been developed to answer the demands of nuclear experiments. Housed in a single width NIM unit, the module is fully programmable through a serial interface and all selected values are stored in a non volatile memory. Usually in nuclear experiments, the data is collected into the Data Acquisition Systems by ADC's, QAC's and TDC's modules. The facilities of the Unit here described, allow a good match with these modules. Actually the 16 channel spectroscopy amplifier houses double sixteen analog outputs; they can be easily programmed whether to have positive or negative pulses allowing one to use either ADC's or QDC's. Furthermore sixteen timing outputs are available on the front panel.<
