1. DEVELOPMENT OF A TOF-PET PROSTATE PROBE READOUT SYSTEM
Presented by S. Minutoli and P. Musico
Each pixel of a matrix made of 128 SiPM is
independently handled by:
Preamplifier discriminator (NINO chip)
TDC (HpTDC chip)
All the channels are managed by a control card based on:
FPGA
Microcontroller for USB transfer
The data acquisition code is running on a Linux based PC
ASIC development is in progress: a 130 nm 8 channel prototype is under test and the next release in under advanced design.
