16 fold shaper with timing
Technical Data:
Discriminator:
Input stage
• Leading edge
• Gain adjust: gain can be set from 1 to 20 in
16 steps with factor 1.22 per step.
• Threshold: adjustable, 0 to 4 V (= 0% to
40% of maximum range)
differential version
• Input connector: 34 pin male connector
• Input resistance: terminated with 100 Ω,
adapted to twisted pair cables.
• Gain-Polarity jumper with multiplication
factor of 2 and 30 are standard. (Gain
range from 2 to 600)
• input noise at gain = 100: 10 µVrms for
1us shaping time, 7 µVrms for 2 µs
shaping time.
Gate generator, Timing delay, ECL output
• Pulse width for trigger output: 400 ns
• Timing stop- ECL-Signals:
delay 400 ns from trigger,
width 200 ns
• Output connector: 34 pin male connector
• Typical timing resolution for 5 MeV signals
from silicon detector (10 * 10 mm2, 500
µm, 60V bias): dT = 400 ps. If necessary, a
walk correction can be easily implemented
in software using the shaper amplitude.
• Common mode suppression: 50 dB

•
16 Lemo 00 input connectors
Input termination option: 1k and 50
Ohm, coded on the gain-polarity
jumper.
Multiplicity trigger:
• Each channel above threshold contributes to
multiplicity level, a multiplicity trigger is
generated for: lower multiplicity threshold
≤ multiplicity level ≤ upper multiplicity

• coincidence interval adjustable from 40 ns
up to 150 ns (default 100 ns).
• The multiplicity trigger is 100 ns delayed to
the trigger signal.
Shaper:

from several modules can be connected, re-
sulting in a total multiplicity level of all
connected modules. Multiplicity trigger
windows of the connected modules act in-
dependently on the total multiplicity.

Two shaping times of 0.4 µs / 1 µs or
2 µs / 5 µs jumper selectable, common
for all channels.

Output connector: 34 pin male connector
Integral nonlinearity < 0.05%
gain drift < 0.0075% / °C
Power consumption: (max 7W)
• +6V 280 mA
• -6V –680 mA
• +12V 80 mA
Offset drift < 50 µV/ °C
Timing filter amplifier:
Remote control
• RC-CR, 7 ns / 100 ns
The modules are prepared for the remote con-
trol of
1) individual thresholds
2) gains for pairs of channels.
The remote control unit is a plug in module
which can also be inserted as an upgrade.
• 4 monitor outputs for timing filter signals,
each providing the sum signal of 4 channels
(Amplitude: -1.5 V per channel for 10 V
shaper output)
