Abstract
The design and results of a radiation hard switched gain charge amplifier o ptimised for a large dynamic range and large input capacitance at e describ ed. The peaking time is 25 ns, dynamic ranges are 0.1-50 minimum ionising p articles (MIPs) (high gain) and 1-400 MIPs (low gain), signal to noise (S/N ) > 10 for C-in < 56 pF and radiation tolerance to 10 Mrads(Si) and 4 x 10( 13) n cm(2).
