Description
The IGNITE project develops technical solutions for the next generation of trackers at colliders. It plans to implement an integrated module, comprising sensor, electronics, and fast readout, aimed at fast 4D-tracking. System pixels are required to have pitch around 50 µm and time resolution below 30 ps. In the present paper we present measurement results concerning the performance of the first-born prototype ASIC (Ignite0), which explores circuital solutions for Analog Front End and Time-to-Digital Converter circuits. After measurements, the AFE and TDC show time resolution around 20 ps rms in nominal conditions. Such prototype structures have been tested before being integrated in a subsequent design, containing a 64x64 pixel matrix for the readout of pixelated sensors. We also present the design criteria and expected performance of the Ignite32 (32x32 pixels) and Ignite64 (64x64 pixels). ASIC.
