Multi-Channel Detector Readout Method and Integrated Circuit IB-1472
PATENT ABSTRACT: An integrated circuit which provides multi-channel detector readout from a detector array. The circuit receives multiple signals from the elements of a detector array and compares the sampled amplitudes of these signals against a noise-floor threshold and against one another. A digital signal is generated which … [Read more...] about Multi-Channel Detector Readout Method and Integrated Circuit IB-1472
