Abstract :
We report on the design of a portable X-Ray camera working in single photon counting mode and a very high frame rate exceeding 20000 fps. The camera consists of hybrid pixel detector, where a two readout ASICs consisting of 23552 pixels of 75um pitch are used. A new approach is used for designing the camera using the commercially available controller board supplied with Zynq FPGA, ARM controller and custom PCB integrating readout chips bump-bodnded to the silicon sensor, power supply, variety of communication ports including USB, Ethernet and Camera Link. All levels of the system (FPGA, microcontroller and Windows Application) are programmed with National Instruments LabVIEW allowing extreme acceleration of developing process due to single software platform.
