16/32 Channel charge sensitive preamplifier

A1442

Home Modular Pulse Processing ElectronicsPreamplifiersPreamplifiers - Charge Sensitive A1442

The CAEN Mod. A1442 is ideally suited for single or double sided multi-strip silicon detectors as well as for multi-channel detectors with common Bias. Its compact size and low power consumption make it ideal for direct detector coupling in a high vacuum system. It is available in both 16-channel (A1442A) and 32-channel (A1442B) versions.

Preamplifier output signals are in true differential supporting low-cost twisted flat cables for the output connection.

The preamplifier also provides a SUM output of the 16-channels, allowing the user to calculate the timing of pulse shape measurements of the complete strip from a single signal. Preamplifier sensitivity can be easily changed by a factor of 5 by way of a simple jumper on the front panel. The 32-channel version (A1442B) can be operated as two independent 16-channel preamplifiers with separate Voltage-Bias and Test inputs and two separate SUM outputs.

A customization is available to improve amplifier protection from transients at detector input connection.
