Abstract :
Novel CMOS current mode shapers for front end electronics are proposed. Three semi Gaussian shaper implementations based on second generation current conveyors are designed using advanced filter design techniques which provide full integration. The topologies are compared in terms of noise performance, power consumption, total harmonic distortion (THD) and dynamic range (DR) in order to examine which is the most preferable in readout applications. Analysis is supported by simulations results in a 0.6mum process by Austria Mikro Systeme (AMS)
