7 Pulse Processing Electronics
The pulse processing electronics ACU (Amplifier-CFD-Unit) and AU (Amplifier-Unit) hold all devices like
the amplifiers, pulse shapers, and constant fraction discriminators to turn the analogue pulses from the
detector into digital pulses suitable for the Time-to-Digital Converter. Pulse decoupling is either performed
within the pulse processing electronics or directly in-vacuum, depending on detector type and layout.
Some pulse processing electronics also contain an integrated high voltage power supply for the complete
detector. This also depends on the layout of the detector as well as the pulse processing electronics.
7.1 Pulse Processing Electronics ACU 5.16.1
The ACU 5.16.1 contains the amplifiers, pulse shapers and constant fraction discriminators for signal
processing.
Figure 14: Layout of ACU 5.16.1.
1. 16x SMB sockets for signal transfer from SMB feedthrough
2. Guide bush for orientation pin from SMB feedthrough
3. 2 Clips for fastening the ACU to the detector flange
4. Connection sockets for DLD readout cables with M3 thread to
fasten the strain reliefs of the readout cables
The ACU can be plugged directly onto the 16-fold SMB feedthroughs. Fasten the two clips of the ACU to
the fastening bolts of the CF65 flange to fix it to the detector.
