IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.
AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.
EnglishWe developed and realized a fast integrated charge-sensitive preamplifier for segmented High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors, able to directly drive long 50-ohm coaxial cables. The circuit is realized in a 5V 0.8um CMOS technology. It includes an external input FET, mod. BF862, which can be easily replaced if necessary. The charge-to-voltage gain and the fall time are set by an external RC feedback network, and can be changed in a broad range of values. The preamplifier works both at room and at cryogenic temperatures. The area occupancy of the chip is (366 x 275)um^2 and the static power consumption is 8mW excluding the FET. The preamplifier is optimized for hole signals, i.e. negative output voltage swings. With a 100O-ohm output load it is able to provide an output swing of -2.4V, against a negative power supply of -3V. The transition time for such a large pulse is 12.8ns. The noise performance with a 15pF detector capacitance is 110 r.m.s. electrons both at 300K and at 77K, at a quasi-Gaussian shaping time of 10us. The obtained performance is adequate for gamma-ray spectroscopy and pulse-shape analysis with HPGe segmented detectors.
