A fast shaping amplifier-comparator integrated circuit for silicon strip detectors
- Univ. of California, Santa Cruz, CA (United States). Santa Cruz Inst. for Particle Physics
The use of silicon strip detectors at hadron colliders with high collision rates, such as HERA, Fermi Collider Upgrade, and the SSC, presents five stringent requirements for its front-end electronics system. The circuitry must have microminiature size, very low power, fast shaping, near optimum noise, and radiation resistance. The authors describe a 64 channel amplifier-comparator for silicon strip detector fabricated on Tektronix SHPi bipolar process. This device is particularly useful in high rate colliders with silicon strip vertex detection. The design requirements include near optimum noise performance, very low power use, proton radiation resistance, and microminiature size. Additionally, the detector and amplifier can be DC coupled, since the amplifier is capable of absorbing increasing detector leakage current under irradiation. Circuit measurements show that the circuit will perform properly in its expected environment.
