The layout of a three-channel FEU-49B converter of short circuit response pulse to Cerenkov radiation in the dynamic range of 10/sup 6/ into the amplitude of the voltage fed into the input of a K1113PV1 ten-digit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is examined. The converter consists of three analog matching channels, a selection system, and a system for switching the data channel and the ADC. The analog channel consists of a three-cascade integrating amplifier and a two-cascade amplitude detector connected in series. The conversion factor of the analog channel equals 400 mV/pC. The minimum duration of the recorded pulses equals 10 nsec. The reduced noise is 200 nA. The channel is linear in a dynamic range of 103. The detection threshold of the peak detector equals 10 mV. The delay time for switching the data dynode equals 200 nsec.
