Abstract. The GOSSIP (Gas On Slimmed Silicon Pixel) detector is a candidate to be a good alternative for silicon based pixel detectors. The Gossip chip is being developed to serve as a read-out array for such a gas-filled detector. Thanks to the very low capacitance at the preamplifier input, the front-end of the chip demonstrates low-noise performance in combination with a fast peaking...

In the frame of the DETNI project a 32-channel ASIC suitable for readout of a novel 2D thermal neutron detector based on a hybrid low-pressure Micro-Strip Gas Chamber and solid 157Gd converter has been developed. Each channel delivers position information, a fast time stamp of 2 ns resolution and signal amplitude proportional to the energy. The time stamp is used for correlating the signals...

84. Test results on the n-XYTER ASIC, a self triggered, sparcifying readout ASIC

n-XYTER is a 128 channel asynchronous, self triggered, self sparcifying readout ASIC developed as a front-end for neutron scattering detector applications. Due to the novel architecture it has attracted a considerable interest from future heavy ion experiments around the FAIR project. In particular for CBM and PANDA, n-XYTER is currently seen on one hand as the basis and starting point for a...

63. VFAT2 : A front-end system on chip providing fast trigger information, digitized data storage and formatting for the charge sensitive readout of multi-channel silicon and gas particle detectors.

Dr Paul Aspell (CERN)

Oral

The architecture, key design parameters and results for a highly integrated front-end readout system fabricated as a single ASIC is presented. The chip (VFAT2) comprises complex analog and digital functions traditionally designed as separate components. VFAT2 contains very low noise 128 channel front-end amplification with programmable internal calibration, intelligent “fast OR” trigger...
