Abstract
A charge sensitive preamplifier (CSP) followed by an amplifier with pulse shaping networks (PSA) of single differentiation-single integration type (SDSI), designed to be used with uncooled silicon nuclear particle detectors aboard space vehicles, is described. Noise performance at 5 μsec SDSI time constant was measured to be 0.91 keV FWHMSi with a slope of 43 eV/pF. The total power drain is 42 mW at + 12 V supply. The amplifier is stabilized against supply voltage and temperature variations.Keywords
