Designing Utopia – An Ultralow Picoammeter
Designing Utopia – An Ultralow Picoammeter There are various applications where the output of a sensor is a low current. In some cases like in ionizing radiation measurements, device characterization, leakage current measurements and biosensing instrumentation, the current that has to be measured can be as low as few femtoamperes. However, designing a measuring digitizer

New dosimeter design for FCC
New dosimeter design for FCC The presence of radiation at the LHC may cause damage to sensitive electronics equipment and magnets, jeopardising the operation of the world’s largest and most complex machine. Until now, CERN radiation experts have been using state-of-the-art dosimeters to monitor radioactivity levels in the tunnels and to perform irradiation tests of
