The front-end electronics is modelled using an integrator stage and 3 parallel feedback loops with individually configurable time constants. The main feedback discharging the integrator consists of 3 low-pass filtered feedback loops. The leakage current compensation is approximated by an additional independent low-pass filtered feed-back loop. The system noise is modelled using independent bandwidth limited noise channels for pre-amplifier, feedback and threshold noise. The Timepix3 time of arrival (ToA) and time over threshold (ToT) measurement is implemented by a discriminator model with independent rise and fall times and 2 independent clock frequencies for ToA and ToT. The measured dependence of the ToT on the pre-amplifier input charge using test-pulses of a Timepix3 assembly is correctly reproduced for a wide range of discriminator settings.}, month = {Jun}, date = {2023-06-25}, organization = {24th International Workshop on Radiation Imaging Detectors, Oslo (Norway), 25 Jun 2023 - 29 Jun 2023}, keywords = {Detector modelling and simulations I (interaction of radiation with matter (autogen) / interaction of photons with matter (autogen) / interaction of hadrons with matter (autogen) / etc) (autogen) / Simulation methods and programs (autogen) / Solid state detectors (autogen) / Hybrid detectors (autogen)}, cin = {FS-CFEL-CMI / CERN}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)FS-CFEL-CMI-20220405 / I:(DE-H253)CERN-20181204}, pnm = {631 - Matter – Dynamics, Mechanisms and Control (POF4-631)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-631}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)CFEL-Exp-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16 / PUB:(DE-HGF)8}, UT = {WOS:001189619000009}, doi = {10.1088/1748-0221/19/03/C03022}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/604487}, }
