A 120dB dynamic-range radiation-tolerant charge-to-digital converter for radiation monitoring
A novel multi-ranging A/D topology for charge-to-digital conversion is presented. The front-end provides a fast conversion, compared to similar works and it is suitable for instrumentation, in particular radiation monitoring. Issues regarding measurement errors due to manufacturing mismatches, temperature and radiation are addressed. The work was experimentally verified and the results are presented.
