A 16-channel Silicon Strips Readout Chip in 180nm CMOS technology
Résumé
A highly integrated readout scheme for Silicon trackers making use of Deep Sub-Micron CMOS electronics (DSM) and analog sampling techniques is presented. In the context of the International Linear Collider (ILC) tracking detectors developments, a 16-channel readout chip for Silicon strips detector has been designed in 180nm CMOS technology, each channel comprising a low noise amplifier, a pulse shaper, a sample and hold and a comparator operated at low power. Test results are presented.
