Ion Chamber and Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) were both used for beam loss monitor in the Machine Protection System (MPS) at Jefferson Lab. The requirements of signal processing of these detectors are different, so two VME-based signal processing boards, Beam Loss Monitor (BLM) board and Ion-Chamber board, were developed. The BLM board has fast response (< 1us) and 5 decades dynamic range from 10nA to 1 mA, while the Ion-Chamber board has 8 decades dynamic range from 100 pA to 10 mA and slower response. Both of boards provide functions of machine protection and beam diagnostics, and have features of fast shutdown (FSD) interface, beam sync interface, built-in-self-test, remotely controlled bias signals, and on-board memory buffer.
