In this paper the authors present a readout electronics for a liquid-argon calorimeter. It has been designed and optimized for operation at cryogenic temperatures and it is integrated in an n-well 2{mu}m CMOS technology. The chip contains 16 analog channels with switched-capacitor circuits for charge collection, storage and amplification, and averaging and correlated double-sampling circuits for noise reduction. Further components include a trigger generator, an analog multiplexer, digital control circuits for analog switching, and 50-{Omega} cable drivers.
