Method for processing a detector signal and detector device

Abstract

In an embodiment a method for processing a detector signal includes detecting, by a detector, a plurality of detection events, increasing an output voltage of an amplifier after each detection event, and resetting the output voltage when the output voltage exceeds a threshold due to a threshold event, wherein the threshold is smaller than a maximum voltage value determined by an overdrive value of an input voltage of a signal processor to which the output voltage of the amplifier is connected, wherein resetting is determined by processing the threshold event only irrespective of other detection events, wherein the threshold event is fully evaluated by the signal chain before the output voltage is reset, and wherein a reset is triggered by a signal edge of a reset pulse.
