Abstract
A compact Analog to Digital Converter system suitable for high resolution {gamma}-ray analysers has been developed based on the ADADC84 12-bit converter from Analog Devices. The converter was equipped with a peak detector and a stretcher, and with a memory card providing the sliding scale circuits, the lower threshold, the channel number identification and the zero suppression. The conversion time is 10 {mu}s and the differential non linearity is less than {+-}1% for a 12-bit resolution. The converter consists of a 12-bit spectroscopy analog-to-digital converter (ADC) while the memory card includes a 8K 24-bit buffer memory. The two cards are plugged into a slot of an IBM PC AT and using an emulation software converts the micro-computer into a full-featured pulse height analyser. In data acquisition mode, the cards can operate independently, making the computer free for other tasks. The software offers acquisition control, visualization, data handling functions and various types of result presentation.
