Physics experiments under preparation with the future LHC (Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneve) will require a high beam luminosity (1.7E34 p/cm[sup 2].s) which will produce a high level of irradiation in the inner parts of particle detectors. These physics experiments also require a statistical treatment on a large number of events, which implies a high beam crossing frequency (66 MHz). In these future detectors, to obtain a particle identification with a precise energy-momentum measurement, a high spatial resolution is required, which supposes a very large number of detector channels. Because of this great number of channels, a data reduction and sparsification must be done inside the detector. Both analog and digital electronics functions are required to perform such data pre-processing. The authors present here recent results obtained on a rad-hard mixed analog-digital technology currently under development, which integrates monolithically complementary MOS transistors (CMOS), complementary JFETs (CJFETs) and complementary bipolar transistors (C-bipolars). This technology is expected to fulfill the hard constraints of LHC detector electronics.
