Abstract
A circuit for an X-ray-induced voltage pulse amplitude estimation inside a pixel readout channel, in a hybrid pixel array detector, an input of the circuit is connected to a pixel electrode, is provided. The circuit including a charge-sensitive amplifier (CSA) block configured to amplify a current pulse carried to its input from the pixel electrode and to convert it to a voltage pulse; an analog to digital converter (ADC) block connected to an output of the CSA block and configured to operate at a first clock frequency, and to sample an input voltage signal and output a result of the sampling as a codeword, wherein an artificial neural network (ANN) block is configured to operate at a second clock frequency, and to perform operations related to the neural network and estimate an amplitude of the voltage pulse, the ANN block in communication with the ADC block.
