Comparison of a Readout Chain Dedicated to the Signal Conditioning of a Particle Detector and an Innovative Chain Based on a VCO Concept

This paper presents a comparison of two different chains, used for the processing of the signal generated by an ionizing particle crossing a detection cell. The results of the two chains are discussed.
