Abstract
Some embodiments include methods, devices and systems of radiation detection by asynchronous demultiplexing. In some embodiments, an apparatus to read a plurality of electrical signals received from an electrode may include two or more electrical signal readers, wherein each of the signal readers is individually switchable between a coupled state in which an input of the signal reader is coupled to the electrode, and a decoupled state in which the input is decoupled from the electrode; and a controller to detect the plurality of electrical signals, to selectively switch the two or more signal readers to the coupled state to receive at least one sequence of two or more of the detected electrical signals, respectively, and to selectively activate the two or more signal readers to process the two or more detected electrical signals, respectively. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
