Abstract :
The authors review the design and prototyping of two application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), an amplifier and a discriminator, which are being produced for the Fermilab E771 silicon strip detector readout system. The two bipolar ASICs were designed and prototyped using Tektronix Quickchip 2 linear arrays. Measurements of the performance of the prototype devices are presented that agree very well with the results SPICE simulations
