Measurement & Readout Electronics

This is an ongoing project, there are many modules I have yet to add to this website.

The readout electronics are for various topics in my interest, such as for single photon counting and Scintillation.

Module Picture Description/Link
±5V 500mA Quad Preamplifier Power Supply
Analog Threshold Relay
Dual Channel Wideband Pulse Amplifier
Dual Divide-by-10 Scalar
-1.25kV PMT Bias Supply
Hall - Magnetometer

And a dozens modules I haven’t taken pictures of yet.

HDL implementation of processors

Hardware Description Language implementations of various old 60’s, 70’s and 80’s computers and processors that I have written over time. Mostly as an exercise but also for fun.

Data General NOVA 1

Word Width Model Language Link/Download
16-bit Data General NOVA 1 Verilog Github

Status:

  • Can execute all standard instructions
  • IO bus specified
  • All IO devices incomplete or not implemented

DEC PDP-1(D)

18-bit DEC PDP-1(D) Verilog Github

Status:

  • All PDP1 and some PDP1-D instructions implemented
  • Passes almost all paper tape instruction tests
  • IO Bus specified
  • No IO devices implemented

CDC 160

Word Width Model Language Link/Download
12-bit CDC 160 Chisel Github

Status:

  • So far just the instruction decoder

RCA 110

Word Width Model Language Link/Download
24-bit RCA 110 Verilog Github

Status:

  • Can execute some instructions
  • Only one manual on Bitsavers which contradicts itself on some instructions
  • Indefinitely stalled until I get a better reference
