From June 16 to 20, 2025, the HPXM2025 conference took place at the INFN National Laboratories in Frascati. Nuclear Instruments presented its work on direct pre-amplifier sampling ADC for high-count rate and high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy
Read MoreA novel 20-bit interleaved SAR ADC architecture enables direct digitization of preamplifier signals in high-rate X-ray spectroscopy applications. It eliminates analog reshaping stages while achieving sub-150 eV resolution at MHz-level event rates. Designed around a Zynq SoC and tested with the ARDESIA detector, the system demonstrates a robust, low-noise digital pipeline tailored for synchrotron environments and pixelated SDDs.
