A High-Rate Energy-Resolving Photon-Counting ASIC for Spectral Computed Tomography

Description : We describe a high-rate energy-resolving photon-counting ASIC aimed for spectral computed tomography. The chip has 160 channels and 8 energy bins per channel. It demonstrates a noise level of ENC= electrons at 5 pF input load at a power consumption of andlt;5mW/channel. Maximum count rate is 17 Mcps...
