The CAEN Mod.A5256 is a 16+1 channels adapter for A5203/DT5203 board. It provides dual threshold, leading edge discriminators for analog single-ended signals on LEMO coaxial connectors. It includes ultra-fast comparators with programmable thresholds (DAC) and accepts both positive and negative analog pulses, as well as NIM/TTL logic signals. It features a dedicated connector for Channel 0 to be used as a common time reference (Tref). The dual threshold allows for a better ToT to amplitude conversion and walk correction, as well as pulse shape discrimination.
