Description

A photo-electron detection system with 32 PIN photodiodes in 1D array has been designed and implemented within 16 cm width. The weak current signal of PIN photodiodes is firstly amplified for about 104 times, and then sampled at 75 MHz with 12 bits digital precision. The weak signal modulation circuit has a good response to signal with pulse width larger than 20 ns or lead edge longer than 10 ns. The signal processing module receives the 32-channel signal and caches them in real-time inside the FPGA. The data bandwidth of the signal processing module reaches up to 28.8 Gbps. (authors)
