anticomptonspectrometers

Spectralanalysisofscintillation(NaI(Tl),LaBr3(Ce))detectors

DigitalPulseShapingusinghighlyintegratedFPGA

Data recording viaEthernet(TCP/IP).

Figure1 DSPConfiguration

The output signal from the detector's preamplifier is directly input to the DSP and digitized by a high-speed

ADC (100 MSPS)in the DSP. The A/D converter, which is the heart of the digital pulse processing, employs

the latest 100 MHz, 14-bit high-speed, high-resolution pipelined ADC to directly digitize the signal from the

preamplifier.

Trapezoidal waveform processingisperformed by hardware calculationin FPGA. Theshapingtime required

fortrapezoidal waveform shaping is set by parameters from a PC, and peak values are digitally detected by

peakingtime(peakingtime=risetime+flattoptime)for both FASTandSLOW systems.

TheFASTandSLOWsystemsareprocessedbytwodifferentfilterblocks.

TheFASTsystemacquirestimingandperformspile-uprejection(PileupReject).

TheSLOWsystemperformsPolezeroCancelandBaselineRestorerprocessingfollowedbyenergyanalysis.

Preamplifier signals and trapezoidal waveform processing signals imported into FPGA are output via DAC

(DigitalAnalogConverter),andoperationcanbecheckedonadigitaloscilloscope.

SettingsanddataacquisitionfortheDSPareperformedbythesuppliedDSPapplication(hereinafterreferred

to as "thisapplication"). This applicationruns on Windows. The DSP communicatesonly via TCP/IP or UDP

network communication, so no special libraries are required, and the DSP can be used in non-Windows

environmentsaswell.
