The TDCPix is a hybrid pixel detector readout ASIC designed for the
NA62 GigaTracker detector. The asynchronously operating pixel array
consists of 1800 pixels, each 300x300$\mu m^2$. The requirements are a
single-hit timing resolution better than 200ps RMS and read-out
efficiency of 99% or better. The time-walk effect is compensated by
in-pixel time-over-threshold discriminators...

SOI monolithic pixel sensor has been developed using 0.2 um SOI pixel process technology. Pixel diodes are formed on SOI substrate and then pixel front end electronics are formed in 40nm thin SOI layer. Tungsten vias are used to connect the diode and electronics. A simple source follower circuit, charge sensitive preamplifier, comparator, and counter are designed in a pixel area. The minimum...

Silicon strip detectors in the upgraded Tracker of LHCb experiment will require a new readout ASIC. It will extract and digitise analogue signals from the sensor, perform digital processing and transmit serial output data. The ASIC front-end comprises a charge preamplifier and a shaper. Fast shaping is required ($T_{peak}=25ns$, fast recovery) to distinguish between the LHC bunch crossings....

We present the design of a 12-bit, 160-MSPS two-step SAR ADC in 40-nm CMOS with calibration and radiation test results. The ADC measured 67.5-dB SNDR and ≥85-dB SFDR that displayed minimal degradation after being exposed to a total ionizing dose of up to 1 Mrad. The power consumption is 4.5 and 6.1 mW at 80 and 160 MSPS, respectively. The small die size also opens up good potential for single...
