A cubic KM scale underwater neutrino detector requires thousands of
photomultipliers whose signal must be acquired and transferred
through an electro-optical cable to shore for analysis and storage.
The transferrable power and data bandwidth of this cable is limited.
The work described here has been developed in the context of the NEMO
Collaboration with the aim of studying and...

A five channel programmable delay line ASIC was designed, fabricated and tested.
The IC features 4 channels that allow to phase delay periodic or non-periodic
digital signals and a master channel that can be used to phase delay a clock
signal. The master channel serves as a calibration reference guaranteeing
independence from process, supply voltage and temperature variations. The...

To coordinate groupings of pixel readout chips, the Token
Bit Manager (TBM), has been developed for the CMS experiment.
The TBM will coordinate passing of the readout token around
a group readout chips (ROC). In addition it supplies the DAQ
with a header and trailer record to facilitate event recognition.
Also present on the same chip is a Control Network Hub, which
directs...

For a very fast readout of a DEPFET pixel matrix at the ILC (International Linear
Collider) the 128 channel CURO II ASIC has been designed and fabricated in a 0.25
µm process.
Due to the signal of the sensor being a current, the architecture of the chip is
completely based on current mode (SI) techniques.
This comprises double-correlated-sampling in the analog front end with...
