CAEN Analog modules cover the complete NIM signal processing chain, providing all the building blocks needed between a detector and the digitization stage. The family spans spectroscopy and fast amplifiers, peak-sensing ADCs, QDCs, discriminators, attenuators, and fan-in/fan-out units for comprehensive signal management.

  • Spectroscopy and fast amplifiers for optimal signal conditioning from a wide range of detectors

  • Peak-sensing ADCs and QDCs for precise amplitude and charge measurement

  • Logic and fan-in/fan-out units for flexible signal routing and trigger generation


Analog Families

ADCs (Peak Sensing)

ADCs (Peak Sensing)

Digital Peak Sensing ADC belongs to a new generation of detector readout systems based on a mixed analog-digital acquisition chain (64 channels) and a low dead time.

Amplifiers (Fast)

Amplifiers (Fast)

These 16/8/4 channels are fast rise time amplifier housed in a 1-unit NIM/VME module with input bandwidth up to 250 Mhz. Each channel is provided with LEMO 00 connectors too.

Amplifiers (Spectroscopy)

Amplifiers (Spectroscopy)

With Time Filter, CFD and pile-up rejection, PSA are implemented in a single width NIM module (single ended and differential). Used with Germanium detectors, adapted for PMT. and all fast charge detectors.

Analog Pulse Processors

Analog Pulse Processors

Analog Pulse Processors N1568A and N914 are designed to be used with silicon detectors connected to charge preamplifiers and the discriminators share a 8 bit common threshold.

Discriminators

Discriminators

These modules guarantees exceptional low walk jitter, lower than 50 ps, for signals spreading over a wide range of amplitude, from -5 V to -50 mV.

Attenuators

Attenuators

The N858 and V859 are double attenuators housed in a one a one unit wide NIM module. The module does not require any power supply since it is made up of resistive cells.

For Fission Chambers and Proton Recoil detectors

For Fission Chambers and Proton Recoil detectors

The A1427 KIT with A1427 Preamplifier is a fast and low noise current preampl. with AC coupled input. It is suitable for fission chambers detectors.

Linear Fan In - Fan Out Units

Linear Fan In - Fan Out Units

Quad Linear FAN-IN FAN-OUT are modules which houses three 4 In / 4 Out and one 3 In / 3 Out sections; one Discriminator channel is also featured.

Digitizers

Digitizers

CAEN Digitizers are platform independent instruments housing high speed multichannel ADCs with local memory and FPGAs for real-time data processing.

QDC

QDC

Channel Multievent QDC sections are multiplexed and subsequently converted by two fast 12-bit ADCs. These modules offers a 32 event buffer memory, addressing mode and data transfer mode.

Analog Signal Converters

Analog Signal Converters

The V1250 is a 16 channel differential to single ended signal converter in a 1-unit wide VME 6U form factor. It provides differential inputs and single ended outputs.
