+ | EVAL-CN0536-ARDZ is a low-power Geiger counter in an Arduino form factor that can run on a 3V to 5V system supply. It has a low cost, high voltage generation power supply that is robust and adjustable voltage output from 280V to 500V output. One of the key major part of the circuit in figure 1 is to generate high voltage output using Analog Devices precision programmable oscillator that is versatile, compact and easy to use LTC6906 that can be set to run oscillate from 10khz to 1Mhz using single user defined resistor value. This reference circuit design is compatible with most of the Geiger-Muller tube sensors available in the market today with a voltage rating between 280V to 500V. | ||
To set and regulate the high voltage output supply and capture Geiger-Muller tube distinct pulses , the circuit shown in figure 1 has Analog devices LTC1540, a nano power comparator with built in voltage reference to precisely set the user required voltage output and LTC1441 ultralow power dual comparator to translate Geiger pulse to logic level 3V or 5V . | To set and regulate the high voltage output supply and capture Geiger-Muller tube distinct pulses , the circuit shown in figure 1 has Analog devices LTC1540, a nano power comparator with built in voltage reference to precisely set the user required voltage output and LTC1441 ultralow power dual comparator to translate Geiger pulse to logic level 3V or 5V . |
