Caption
The AEU comprises an SDD preamplifier driver, TEC power driver, and front-end readout electronics. The preamplifier generates a ramp output composed of small steps. Its output is differentiated to measure the step voltage. Two parallel shaping amplifiers with different time constants are designed to serve distinct purposes. The first amplifier is optimized for better timing accuracy, while the second is designed to achieve higher spectral resolution. The fast-shaping channel is optimized to improve double-pulse resolution and reduce pile-up; however, it introduces more noise. In contrast, the slow-shaping channel uses a longer peaking time to extract spectral information.
