Silicon calorimeters have been major options in various high P[sub t] detectors for the SSC because of superior technical characteristics, particularly with respect to speed, segmentation, insensitivity to magnetic fields, absolute gain, linearity of response, and simplicity of construction. A series of monolithic bipolar charge-sensitive preamplifiers and a companion monolithic 50-ns CMOS shaping amplifier have been designed, fabricated, and characterized for use with silicon calorimeters. The preamplifier topologies evaluated were current-mode, folded cascade, and differential. These three topologies were fabricated in the Harris Semiconductor VHF process and were characterized for noise, transient response, power dissipation and radiation hardness. Versions of each preamplifier have been designed to operate over a range of detector pad capacitance from 20--500 pF. The CMOS shaping amplifier specifications and test results are presented with emphasis on the system integration requirements for beam tests.
