Oral

A transient waveform sampler/recorder IC has been developed and realized in AMS C35 technology to be used in the front-end of a neutrino detector. It is based around a switched capacitors array unit sampling its voltage inputs at 200MHz external clock rate and transferring them at its outputs at 1/10th of the sampling rate. This unit is replicated inside the ASIC providing 4 independent...

ASIC's

Oral

This paper describes the Analog to Digital Converter developed for the front end electronic of the IN2P3 INNOTEP project by the “pole microelectronique Rhone-Auvergne”. (Collaboration LPC Clermont-Ferrand and IPNL Lyon). This ADC is a 4 stages, 2.5 bits per stage pipe line, with open loops track and holds and amplifiers. It runs at 100MSamples/s and has 8 bits of resolution. The stages...

106. SuperNemo Absolute Time Stamper, a high resolution and large dynamic range TDC for SuperNemo experiment

ASIC's

Oral

The SNATS chip is designed to provide both a high resolution of 70ps RMS and a large dynamic range of 53 bits. The architecture is based on the association of 32 cell delay locked loops and of a 48-bit digital counter which are synchronized to a 160 MHz external clock. A 16 channel prototype has been designed in AMS 0.35 µm CMOS technology and its main performances are a Differential...

70. A latchup topology to investigate novel particle detectors

Mr Alessandro Gabrielli (CERN EP-MIC - Physics Department & INFN Bologna)

ASIC's

Oral

Here is described a novel approach to detect particles by means of a solid-state device susceptible to latchup-like effects. The stimulated ignition of latchup effects caused by external radiation has so far proven to be a hidden hazard. Here this is proposed as a powerful means of achieving the precise detection and positioning of a broad range of ionising particles. The cell can be...

66. A 5 Gb/s Radiation Tolerant Laser Driver in 0.13 um CMOS technology

Giovanni Mazza (INFN sezione di Torino, Italy)

ASIC's

Oral

A laser driver for data transmission at 5 Gb/s has been developed as a part of the GigaBit Transceiver (GBT) project. The GigaBit Laser Driver (GBLD) targets High Energy Physics (HEP) applications for which radiation tolerance is mandatory. The GBLD ASIC can drive both VCSELs and some types of edge emitting lasers. It is essentially composed of two drivers capable of sinking up to 12 mA each...

120. The GBTIA, a 5 Gbit/s radiation-hard optical receiver for the SLHC upgrades

ASIC's

Oral

This paper presents a 4.8 Gbit/s optical receiver designed in a 0.13 µm CMOS process as part of the GBT project. The receiver consists of a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a limiting amplifier. A differential cascode structure with inductive peaking is adopted for the TIA to achieve high gain, high bandwidth and low input referred noise. Experimental results at room temperature show an open...
