Design of charge sensitive preamplifier based on RC low pass feedback
Traditional charge-sensitive preamplifiers use high-resistance resistors as low-frequency feedback circuit. The thermal noise introduced by high-resistance resistors is the main source of preamplifier noise.
Purpose
2
This study aims to design and develop a novel charge-sensitive preamplifier by using N-channel junction field effect transistor and RC (Resistor-Capacitance) low-pass network instead of traditional high resistance feedback resistor.
Methods
2
A junction field-effect transistor and an integrated operational amplifier were used to form an amplifying circuit with advantages of high input impedance and large open-loop gain. A high-pass loop was formed by a small capacitance capacitor to provide a high-frequency feedback loop for the circuit and integrates nuclear pulse current at the same time. The RC low-pass network constituted a DC (direct current) feedback loop to provide a stable DC operating point for the circuit
and a voltage divider for the N-channel junction field effect transistor operating in a forward bias state to realize a feedback capacitor for continuous discharge of its charge.
Results
2
The charge-sensitive preamplifier was connected with BPX66 Si-PIN detector and the
241
Am source was measured at room temperature. The energy resolution of 3.03%@59.5 keV was achieved.
Conclusions
2
Compared with the traditional resistive capacitance feedback charge-sensitive amplifier
this circuit can effectively over-come the noise introduced by the large-resistance feedback resistor
especially for semiconductor detectors such as Si-PIN.
