Description

A 64-channel mixed analog-digital ASIC named GASTONE64 has been developed to readout the cylindrical GEM inner tracking detector of the KLOE apparatus at the e+e- DAFNE collider. It has been designed in the CMOS 0.35 µm technology and each analog channel is made of preamplifier, shaper and discriminator. The expected input charge ranges between few fC up to 40 fC, thus the charge sensitivity is set to 20 mV/fC while the equivalent input noise charge (ENC) is 800 e- + 40 e-/pF. The discriminated signals are read-out serially at 100 MBit/s using LVDS levels. The power consumption is about 3.6 mW/channel. After the successful tests on prototypes, the chip has been fully produced as well as the front-end boards to fully equip the detector. The test results of the measurements both on the test bench and on the detector will be shown.
