Abstract

This project aims to create a general-purpose readout architecture that will allow the rapid deployment of next generation detection systems. The system will be based on the development of a programmable general-purpose integrated circuit (GPIC) that has the front-end electronics required to read out signals from a variety of radiation detectors, especially next generation scintillators and semiconductors that may require relatively advanced digital pulse processing algorithms. The front end will be coupled to a digitizer and a signal processor as well as the necessary software and firmware to make a complete end-to-end solution for signal readout from the vast majority of radiation detection systems that are being considered for the warfighter. This will enable companies to integrate these next generation capabilities into their commercial platforms without needing to develop application-specific expertise associated with their readout. It will also reduce the cost and SWAP associated with such devices by providing a compact and low-cost front end.
