Diode Array PCB Description

A bank of Diode Array boards are used

to convert the beam of X-rays into an
electrical signal which is converted to
digital data by the A to D Converter
PCB, and is then interpreted by the
computer to produce an image. Two
banks (High Energy and Low Energy) of
boards are used. The same base board
is used, and this is configured to be a
high or low energy board.

Different machine sizes use a different

number of diode array boards and there
are two sizes.

High Energy / Low Energy comparison

The low energy diode array PCB is fitted with lead strips to help stop scattered X-rays from reaching the high
energy PCB.

Small Diode Array PCB Large Diode Array PCB

Each pair of diode array PCBs has the same board address, which is selected by rotary switch S1.
This switch is set to zero on the boards nearest the cable exit from the array box. The addresses
are then set sequentially in ascending order away from position zero.

Inputs

The digital input to the electronic circuit is 16-

bit from T2SXI (CI board) board. This input is
used for addresses, control offset and gain
for each of photodiode. All interface digital
inputs are 5V TTL signals.

Outputs

The output from the ADC is 16-bit data to

the CI board and 16-bit for addressing and
gain control to the diode array PCBs. All
interface digital outputs are 5V TTL
signals.

Dans les grandes Machines

Il faut que l’alimentation de la première carte du
bloc détecteur soit environ 16Vdc et que la
dernière carte soit pas moins de 14,5Vdc, pour
avoir une homogénéité dans le spectre des
photodiodes.

S’il y a un décalage de niveau dans la même énergie HE ou

LE dans le spectre Photodiodes, cela est due aux différentes
REVISION des Cartes Détectrices.
