mesytec MDS-8 is an 8 channel spectroscopy amplifier with integrated timing filter amplifier in a 1/12 wide NIM module.
It provides an adjustable gain of 1 to 200, and 3 shaping times.
Features
- 8 differential Lemo inputs, can be used single ended
- Input resistance 50 Ohm (= 100 Ohm differential)
- 3 shaping times: 0.25, 0.5, 1 us (sigma)
- Passive baseline restorer
- Adjustable gain and PZ compensation at front panel
- Individual outputs:
- +10 V shaped pulse
- -2 V timing filter output
- Common outputs:
- sum of shaping outputs
- sum of timing filter outputs
Technical Data
Shaper inputs
- internally terminated with 50 Ohm
(differential use 100 Ohm)
- positive and negative input
- adjustable gain range: 1...200
(Factor 20 with 10 turn potentiometer plus factor 10
by sensitivity jumpers)
- Shaper output amplitude: max 10 V (into 1 kOhm)
- Shaping time switch selectable for each channel:
0.25, 0.5, 1 us (sigma)
- Integral nonlinearity <2*10^-4
- Input noise: (shaping times Sigma)
For 0.25, 0.5, 1 us: 20 u Vrms @ gain = 100
- Offset: max 3 mV
