Abstract :
The peak detector derandomizer ASIC provides threshold discrimination, arbitration, peak and timing detection with analog memorization, sparsification, and multiplexation for 32 input channels of analog pulse data. In this work the ASIC, a new version of the ASIC, that can process multiple events occurring at the same time and can provide time-over-threshold measurement for pile up rejection, is presented
