Description
The PSI chip design team has submitted the ROC4SENS, an analogue pixel chip in $0.25\,\mu$m technology which is dedicated for sensor studies. It has a size of $7.8\times 9.8\,$mm$^2$ covered by $155\times 160$ pixels with a pitch of $50\times 50\,\mu$m$^2$.
The pixel cell does not contain a discriminator and therefore does not apply a threshold on the signal. However this means the data will not be zero suppressed and a sequential read out of all (connected) pixels is necessary.
The ROC was submitted parasitically to the P-ROC 600 for the inner pixel layer of the CMS phase1 upgrade. A small number of samples for a test of its functionality will be available in January 2016.
The talk will describe the design of the ROC4SENS and its mode of operation.
