Abstract :
In this paper, we present two circuits designed for pulse readout of a semiconductor PET system: a fast low noise low power front-end preamplifier/shaper, and a processing circuit performing time tagging, energy measurement and digital interfacing with the data acquisition system. Considerations on noise, speed and power consumption are discussed.
