Application of the multichannel front-end chip for SiPM-based gamma detector

Abstract

A prototype of a multichannel application specific integrated circuit(ASIC)analog front-end chip was recently developed at the Department of Microelectronics in MEPhI for SiPM-based applications[1]. The chip designed as an analog front-end for the detectors using scintillation crystals NaI(Tl) or CsI(Tl) coupled with a SiPM photosensor.The chip can be used to build multichannel systems in such fields as nuclear science, medical imaging and homeland security.
