Abstract
A method for digitalizing scintillation pulses includes: defining n threshold voltages V_th, forming a voltage comparison unit by n low-voltage differential signaling receiving ports, outputting, by the voltage comparison unit, a state-flip and a threshold voltage corresponding to the state-flip when one scintillation pulse to be sampled exceeds any one of the thresholds; and sampling digitally a time when the state-flip in step (2) occurs by a time-to-digit converter and identifying the threshold voltage corresponding to the state-flip, to acquire the voltage and the time for the scintillation pulse. The method can be performed using a device for digitalizing scintillation pulses.
