7 Pulse Processing Electronics
7.1 Pulse Processing Electronics ACU 3.4.2
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.
The ACU 3.4.2 contains pulse amplifiers, pulse shapers and constant fraction discriminators.
1. 4x SMB sockets for signal transfer from SMB feedthrough
2. Hole for orientation pin from SMB feedthrough
3. Clip for fastening ACU to detector flange
4. Connection socket for DLD readout cable
Figure 12: Layout of ACU 3.4.2.
The ACU can be plugged directly onto the 4-fold SMB feedthroughs. Fasten the two clips of the ACU to fix
it to the detector.
