• Functionality:
  • Pulse Height Analysis with automatic peak detection
  • Pulse pileup rejection and live time correction
  • Compatible with Loss Free Counting Systems
• Input/output specifications:
  • ADC IN: Unipolar/bipolar pulses (0 to +10 V, +12 V max)
  • DATA OUT: 13 TTL-compatible binary output lines
• Control features:
  • Concentric Gain/Range
  • Upper/Lower Level Discriminators
  • Adjustable ADC Zero
• Integration: Works with CANBERRA MCAs, multiplexers, and Ethernet-based acquisition systems.

This module is highly suitable for advanced nuclear spectroscopy applications, offering precise measurement and control.

“The Model 87 I 3, Fixed Dead Time analog-to-digital converter is designed for high resolution nuclear spectroscopy. Its fast conversion time allows it to process a full scale input pulse in less than 6 µs. Fast throughput combined with 16K Gain Range make the 8713 the best choice when speed and resolution are both critical.”
