An application specific integrated circuit includes a differential amplifier and a first pulse shaper that generate a full integration of an amplified radiation detection signal. A second pulse shaper generate a partial integration of the amplified radiation signal. A third pulse shaper generates a timing signal simultaneously with the partial integration and the full integration. Peak detectors measure and store maximum values of the full integration and the partial integration. A time to amplitude converter measures an incidence of a radiological event that generated the radiation detection signal in the form of a voltage ramp. A controller enables the transfer of the maximum value of the full and partial integrations and the voltage in response to discriminated values.
