Abstract
An ultrahigh throughput ADC for use with high resolution photon detectors has been developed. The ADC has 13 bit resolution with less than 0.7% differential non-linearity. A 12 bit, commercially available, hybrid ADC circuit has been used with a two step conversion technique. Improved version of the Gatti slider technique is also used to improve the differential non-linearity. Conversion time of 2 microsecond is achieved
