“…The most promising detector type for this application are single-photon-counting pixel detectors (Bro È nnimann et al, 2000). They provide a large dynamic range, high rate capability, low noise performance, very fast data readout, suf®cient spatial resolution and can be assembled to large area detectors (Barna et al, 1995;Beauville et al, 1997;Fischer et al, 1999). A 2k Â 2k system with 200 mm Â 200 mm pixels is under development at the SLS.…”

“…The same readout electronics associated with a histogramming memory to build up the distribution of counts recorded by each pixel in a fixed time interval is employed in imaging applications. In either case, only the presence of a signal is recorded by the readout system [1]- [4]. There are, however, situations where signal-related parameters are to be extracted and a readout that is able to acquire and process multiparametric information is required.…”

This paper addresses the design of a system intended to readout multiparametric information from a matrix of pixels.The system presented here acquires the charge associated with the signal and provides a timing information from each pixel. Although it lends itself to a broad range of timecorrelated imaging situations involving any kind of pixel matrices, the design constraints assumed here are particularly tailored to the application with pixels that sense the output charge distribution from a Micro Channel Plate (MCP).The combination of a microchannel plate and a pixel matrix is an extremely versatile detector and the readout system must be able to fully exploit the intrinsically high position resolution and time accuracy featured by the MCP The behavior of the readout system described in this paper is based upon advanced concepts to meet the above application requirements and is believed to provide a significant functional improvement over the conventional pixel systems.

“…7 as a function of the charge injected at the input by a delta-impulse. The plot of fig.7 shows that the noise-induced dispersion of the triggering instant remains almost constant as soon as the input charge exceeds 2x10 4 electrons. This indirectly proofs that the slope at the crossover point in the signal presented at the zero crossing discriminator has a high degree of independence from the value of the injected charge.…”
