Performance of RENA-3 IC with position-sensitive solid-state detectors

The RENA-3 (R Readout E eadout Electronics for N lectronics Nuclear A uclear Applications) is a multi-channel mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) developed for the readout of position-sensitive solid-state detectors with excellent energy resolution. We will present results of experiments characterizing its performance as used with a variety of spectroscopy-grade detectors currently available in the industry, notably CZT pixel arrays as well as other detector configurations. The merits of specific RENA-3 design features vis-a-vis different detector applications will also be discussed.
