This talk will introduce the RD-53 collaboration and focus on on-going work in defining the next generation pixel readout chi for the ATLAS and CMS experiments. Will focus on particular on the issue on high data hit rate with MHz trigger rate readout. Will cover issues and possible solutions for internal data flow within the chip, which impacts layout, and options for data compression.

The present CMS pixel Read Out Chip (ROC) has been designed for operation at 25 ns and to be efficient up to the nominal instantaneous luminosity of $10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. Based on the excellent LHC performance to date, and the upgrade plans for the accelerators, it is anticipated that the instantaneous luminosity could reach $2\times 10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ before Long Shutdown (LS)...

The LHCb Vertex Detector (VELO) will be upgraded in 2018 along with the other subsystems of LHCb in order to enable full readout at 40 MHz, with the data fed directly to the software triggering algorithms. The upgraded VELO is a lightweight hybrid pixel detector operating in vacuum in close proximity to the LHC beams.
The readout will be provided by a dedicated front end ASIC, dubbed...

This contribution describes a Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) specifically designed to improve current MAPS state of the art for particle tracking when very high speed, low power consumption and/or small pixels (down to micron size) are required. The low power target is especially important as one of the design goal is to provide a cheaper and easier to implement alternative to present...

We have been developing monolithic active pixel detectors, "XRPIX", with the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology for future X-ray astronomical satellite missions. XRPIX is wide-band (0.3 – 40 keV) fine imaging spectrometer and the advantage is low background. Our objective performance are high coincidence time resolution (∼ 1 ${\rm \mu}$s), superior hit-position readout time (∼ 10 ${\rm...

This work presents the design of a low-noise front-end implementing a novel active signal compression technique. This feature can be exploited in the design of analog readout channels for application to the next generation free electron laser (FEL) experiments. The readout architecture includes the low-noise charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) with dynamic signal compression, a time variant...
