RESUMO
This manuscript presents the design and implementation of an intellectual property core, which acts as a generator of nuclear pulses. The design is embedded in a Field programmable gate array. It is capable of forming pulses with an exponential shape such as those from a radiation detector or Gaussian-shaped pulses such as those provided by a spectroscopy amplifier. Its characteristic is that the amplitude and period of these pulses can be configured by the user through a Virtual instrument generated in graphic language through the LabVIEW development platform. This can greatly reduce the volume, cost and energy consumption in relation to commercial analog nuclear electronics pulse generators.
