Abstract :
The ASIC PARISROC, which stands for “Photomultiplier ARray Integrated in SiGe Read Out Chip”, is a complete read out chip in AustriaMicroSystems (AMS) SiGe 0.35 μm technology. It integrates 16 independent channels to provide charge and time measurements. The PMm2 project, funded by the French national Agency for Research (ANR), has proposed a new system of “smart photo-detectors” composed by sensor and read-out electronics dedicated to next generation neutrino experiments. In this context the ASIC PARISROC has been developed as a SoC (system on chip) that processes the analog signals, self triggering and digitizing internally the data.
