Technical Theory of Operation

Gamma

Transistor pairs, U9 and U10, form the charge sensitive amplifier. U13,

comparator with 0.23 Vdc threshold, produces negative-going 5-volt pulses
for every valid gamma pulse. One-shot, U15A provides single pulses for each

event

Gamma HV

Switching of U17 sends 5-volt pulses through step-up transformer T2. Diode
and capacitor multiplying ladder produces 550 Vdc, regulated by feedback

voltage through R47.

Neutron

Transistor pairs, U11, and U12 form the charge sensitive amplifier. U14

comparator with 0.23 Vdc threshold produces negative-going 5-volt pulses
for every valid neutron pulse. One-shot, U15B produces single pulses for each

event.

Neutron HV

Switching of U18 sends 5-volt pulses through step-up transformer T3. Diode

and capacitor multiplying ladder produces high voltage, regulated by feedback
voltage through R48 and controlled by

NHV

potentiometer R55.

Low Voltage Power Supply

U16 step-up regulator (LT1304) switches battery voltage through inductor L1
to produce reg5 Vdc. Resistor divider R32 and R49 provide input for

low-battery signal, which is sent to the microprocessor.
