Abstract
We present a front-end readout ASIC developed for a new family of ultra-fast 1D imaging detectors operating at frame rates of up to 12 MHz. The ASIC, realized in 110 nm CMOS technology, is designed to be compatible with different semiconductor sensors. The final chip will contain up to 128 channels, each consisting of a Charge-Sensitive Amplifier, a noise shaper based on a fully-differential Correlated Double Sampling stage and a Sample-and-Hold buffer. The differential channels are connected through 8:1 analog multiplexers to the output drivers, which directly interface external analog-to-digital converters. A first prototype with a limited number of channels have been characterized with a Si microstrip detector. When operated at the maximum frame-rate of 12 MHz, the ASIC exhibits an Equivalent Noise Charge of 417 electrons with a detector capacitance of 1.3 pF.
