A New Circuit Scheme for Wide Dynamic Circuits
In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...
متن کاملMILITARY & AEROSPACE A Wide Dynamic Range Radar Digitizer
W ith the advent of high-speed, high-resolution ana-log to digital converters (ADCs) and associated digital to analog converters (DACs), there is a growing push to move more functionality into the digital signal processing arena. Receiver processing that has been performed in the analog and radio frequency (RF) domains is performed digitally now, with improved performance (near ideal filters an...
متن کاملA high-speed wide dynamic range time-to-digital converter
We describe a time-to-digital converter able to measure intervals as great as 100 ns with a resolution of 4 ps rms. It achieves this large dynamic range by simultaneously sampling four sinusoidal wave forms (sine and cosine waves at 200 and 6.25 MHz) derived from a single quartz oscillator. Twelve-bit analog-to-digital conversion of the 200 MHz waves yields the high time resolution. Eight-bit c...
متن کاملPhotomultiplier Tubes
Light which enters a photomultiplier tube is detected and produces an output signal through the following processes. (1) Light passes through the input window. (2) Light excites the electrons in the photocathode so that photoelectrons are emitted into the vacuum (external photoelectric effect). (3) Photoelectrons are accelerated and focused by the focusing electrode onto the first dynode where ...

including basic and performance. For example, section 4.1 shows spectral response characteristics of typical photocathodes and also gives the definition of photocathode sensitivity and its measurement procedure. Section 4.2 explains dynode types, structures and typical characteristics. Section 4.3 describes various performance characteristics such as time response, operating stability, sensitiv...
