TIME-AMPLITUDE CONVERTER HAVING A RESOLVING TIME similar 10 PSEC.

The principal shortcoming of multichannel time analyzers with time-amplitude (t yields A) converters is taken to be the unsatisfactory differential linearity of the scale, which increases with a decreasing quantization step of the measured time intervals. Qualitatively new results were obtained for the class of time analyzers having no stochastic averaging when certain indicated recommendations were realized in the circuit of a spectrometric t yields A converter. These recommendations included reduce the overall number of elements in the start and stop channels of the t yields A converter to a minimum and all logical elements of the circuit should be designed using current elements having a short duration of the transients. Results are presented of the analysis of the metrological characteristics of the time-amplitude converter with a resolving time similar 10 psec. The investigations were carried out in the range of variation of an analyzer-channel value of 10** minus **1**1-10** minus **1**0 sec.
