Abstract :
Work was begun in 1990 on the development of an advanced readout chip for silicon strip detectors. Features of the proposed device include compatibility with close bunch spacing and double sided detectors, and on-chip analog storage, digitization, and data sparsification. Chips have been designed to check all of these concepts, fabricated in the VTI 2 μ process, and tested. The circuit configurations and test results are presented. Measurements are very encouraging and show that performance is close to that desired
