Abstract

Abstract The Joint European X-ray Telescope (JET-X) is being built for the USSR's Spectrum-X spacecraft. The instrument uses large area CCDs in a cooled, slow-scan mode of operation, to achieve a readout noise of better than 17 eV rms. This paper describes how the control and signal processing electronics has been engineered for a spacecraft application, with two CCDs being operated simultaneously by a unit weighing less than 5 kg and consuming under 5 W.
