Astro-H is 6th Japanese X-ray space observatory which will be launched in 2014. Two of onboard instruments of Astro-H, Hard X-ray Imager and Soft Gamma-ray Detector are surrounded by many number of large Bithmuth Germanate (Bi4Ge3O12; BGO) scintillators. Optimum readout system of scintillation lights from these BGOs are essential to reduce the background signals and achieve high performance...

FE-I4 is a 130nm feature size CMOS readout IC designed for the next-generation of hybrid pixel detectors. The first version FE-I4A contains multiple powering options in order to evaluate the performance for future applications. The first optimization is being done for the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) upgrade. FE-I4A contains two stand-alone linear-shunt voltage regulators(ShuLDO) and a...

A 5 Gb/s 16:1 serializer ASIC has been developed using a commercial 0.25 um thin-film silicon-on-sapphire CMOS technology. This prototype has been evaluated against operational conditions in detector front-end environments of the proposed HL-LHC upgrade. A novel two channel array serializer ASIC is being designed to meet challenges in ultra-high data transmission in the range of 100 Gb/s for...

The Preshower detector, part of the CMS Endcap Electromagnetic Calorimeter, is designed to have good spatial resolution to distinguish between different types of incoming particles. The Preshower is a sampling detector with two layers of lead absorber, each followed by 1.9mm pitch silicon strip sensors. Each of the 4288 DC-coupled sensors has an active area of 61x61mm^2, making a total...
