摘要
An amplifier/discriminator/prescaler module which forms a complete, high-performance pulse counter when combined with any standard TTL counter is described. It is constructed with readily-available integrated circuits and costs less that 150, yet has high sensitivity (130 μV) and is capable of very high count rates (>90 MHz with periodic Input pulses; pulse pair resolution ≃ 11 ns). The entire circuit is dc coupled so that there is no base-line shift at any count rate. The discriminator level is voltage programmable and the amount of prescaling can be selected remotely. Extra precautions taken to ensure drift-free operation of the electronics result in a pulse counter with excellent long-term stability. © 1979, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
