  • The sensors output voltage pulse matches the supply voltage,
  • Energy response50 KeV to above 2 MeV
  • Datasheet page 2:
  • | | |
  • |- | - |
  • | Output pulse level | Equal to supply voltage (positive going) |
  • | Output pulse width | 50 μs to 200 μs (LOW→HIGH→LOW) |
  • | Supply voltage range, VCC | 2.5V to 15.0V |
  • | Supply current, IS | 25µA TYP |
  • So, if practical use the same supply voltage for both the MCU and the sensor.
  • If the MCU is running off less than 2.5V that's not going to work and you'll need to use a resistive divider so some other voltage reduction strategy.

The sensors output voltage pulse matches the supply voltage, 
Energy response50 KeV to above 2 MeV

Datasheet page 2:



|  |  |
|- | - |
| Output pulse level | Equal to supply voltage (positive going) |
| Output pulse width | 50 μs to 200 μs (LOW→HIGH→LOW) |
| Supply voltage range, VCC | 2.5V to 15.0V |
| Supply current, IS | 25µA TYP |


So, if practical use the same supply voltage for both the MCU and the sensor.


If the MCU is running off less than 2.5V that's not going to work and you'll need to use a resistive divider so some other voltage reduction strategy.
