Technology Overview
This technology represents a significant advancement in charge sensing systems, moving away from the traditional reliance on electron multipliers that need high vacuum and voltage to operate. The solid-state charge detector is designed to function efficiently from high vacuum to atmospheric pressure and operates on a mere 1.8-V supply voltage. This innovation not only makes the technology suitable for portable, low-power applications but also significantly broadens its usability across various environmental conditions.
Key Advantages
- Operates over a wide pressure range, from high vacuum to 760 torr (atmospheric pressure)
- Requires only a 1
- 8-V supply voltage, enhancing its suitability for low-power applications
- Optimized charge amplifier design for low noise performance across the 1-10 KHz flicker noise spectrum
Problems Addressed
- Dependency on high-vacuum, high-voltage electron multiplier-based detectors
- Limited portability and high power consumption of traditional charge sensing systems
- Operational limitations in varying environmental conditions due to strict pressure requirements
Market Applications
- Portable, low-power electronics requiring charge detection
- Environmental monitoring equipment operable in a wide range of atmospheric conditions
- Scientific research instruments needing low noise and high sensitivity charge detection
- Commercial and industrial applications where traditional high-vacuum systems are impractical
