A Module of a 48-Channel Integrating Analog-To-Digital Converter for Calorimeters in High-Energy Physics Experiments

The description and main performance characteristics of a fast-acting gated 48-channel charge-to-digital converter module of the EuroMISS readout electronics are presented. This module is designed to construct electronic systems for data readout from multichannel detectors in high-energy physics. The maximum measurable charge is 1000 or 330 pC, the dynamic range is 12 bits, the conversion time is 1.3 μs, and the integral nonlinearity of conversion is 0.05%.
