Abstract :
We present a digital fully configurable architecture that performs the function of signal generation for emulation of radiation detectors and front-end electronics and the function of processor of signals from radiation detectors. The proposed architecture has been conceived to serve as a general purpose investigation instrument in digital spectroscopy applications, both at hardware and firmware level. It allows the emulation of all parts of an acquisition and processing setup and consequently implements a real and complete hardware and firmware co-design platform. The system has been prototyped and is being fully tested.
