In a joint effort of Nikhef (Amsterdam) and University of Bonn, the Gossipo-3 IC is being developed. This circuit is a prototype of a full-reticle chip dedicated for read-out of various types of position sensitive Micro-Pattern Gas detectors.
The chip is defined as a high granulated (55um) array in which every readout pixel is equipped with a high resolution TDC (1.6ns) covering dynamic...

This mixed-signal circuit is a 64 channels readout R&D ASIC for Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (Micromegas, Gas Electron Multiplier) or Resistive Plate Chambers. These detectors are foreseen as the active part of a digital hadronic calorimeter for a high energy physics experiment at the International Linear Collider. Physics requirements lead to a highly granular hadronic calorimeter with up...

HARDROC (HAdronic Rpc Detector ReadOut Chip) is the very front end chip designed for the readout of the RPC or Micromegas foreseen for the Digital HAdronic CALorimeter (DHCAL) of the future International Linear Collider.
The very fine granularity of the ILC hadronic calorimeters (1cm2 pads) implies a huge number of electronics channels (400 000 /m3) which is a new feature of “imaging”...

The ILC ECAL front-end chip will integrate many functions of the readout electronics including a DAC dedicated to calibration. We present two versions of DAC with respectively 12 and 14 bits, designed in a CMOS 0.35µm process. Both are based on segmented arrays of switched capacitors controlled by a Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) algorithm. A full differential architecture is used, and the...

We have designed and fabricated a very low noise preamplifier and shaper to replace the existing ATLAS Liquid Argon readout for use at Large Hadron Collider upgrade (SLHC). IBM’s 8WL 130nm SiGe process was chosen for its radiation tolerance, low noise bipolar NPN devices, wide voltage range and potential for use in other LHC detector subsystems. The required dynamic range of 15 bits is...
