Amptek’s PX5-HPGe combines a high performance digital pulse processor with the power supplies needed for standard cryogenic HPGe detectors. It replaces a conventional shaping amplifier and multichannel analyzer, providing very high performance signal processing in a single compact, low power module, replacing multiple bulky NIM modules in a traditional solution. The digital signal processing provides several advantages over analog solutions: lower electronic noise, reduced ballistic deficit, higher throughput, enhanced stability, and more configuration options to better optimize the system for particular applications. It supports USB, Ethernet, and RS232 communications protocols and has numerous auxiliary I/O options (MCS mode, 8 SCAs, a gate input for Compton suppression, etc).
