Scientific paper

SNAP plans to use photodiodes for calibration in low light level applications. A current-integrating amplifier and computer interface was designed to acquire data from a photodiode detector. A simple device was prototyped using separate charge integrator and ADC ICs. A microcontroller was programmed to receive instructions from a PC to determine integration time, and then act as an intermediate step in the transfer of result data from the ADC to the PC.
