Abstract :
A family of Application Specific Integrated Circuits ( ASICs ) called TERA have been developed for the readout of pixel and strip gas detectors used in radiotherapy applications. The TERA ASICs are based on the charge balancing integration technique in order to obtain a good linearity over a dynamic range of five order of magnitude.
