“…As a prototype chip a complete 128 channel version with five different amplifier configurations has been designed in the 0.8 µ DMILL-BiCMOStechnology [9,10] offered by TEMIC/MHS [12,11]. The various amplifiers were also realized as test structures to allow direct performance measurements without using the complete pipeline mechanism.…”

The Analog Pipeline Chip (APC) is a low noise, low power readout chip for silicon micro strip detectors with 128 channels containing an analog pipeline of 32 buffers depth. The chip has been designed for operation at HERA with a power dissipation of 300 − 400 µW per channel and has been used also in several other particle physics experiments. In this paper we describe the development of a radiation hard version of this chip that will be used in the H1 vertex detector for operation at the luminosity upgraded HERA machine. A 128 channel prototyping chip with several amplifier variations has been designed in the radiation hard DMILL technology and measured. The results of various parameter variations are presented in this paper. Based on this, the design choice for the final production version of the APC128-DMILL has been made.

“…There are 13 types of radiation tolerant Application-Specific-Integrated-Circuits (ASICs) used on the FEB. These ASICs have been developed using technologies like the DMILL [5], the Deep-Sub-Micron (DSM) CMOS and the AMS BiCMOS. A limited number of commercially available components are used on the FEB (for example, the ADC and the serializer for the optical link).…”

Abstract-The Liquid Argon sampling calorimeter is a key detector component in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, designed to provide precision measurements of electrons, photons, jets and missing transverse energy. In this note we present the detector readout electronics system and its precision calibration. The system has 182,468 channels with more than 16-bit dynamic range. The contribution to the relative energy resolution constant term due to the calibration uncertainty is below 0.25%. The radiation tolerant optical link between the detector front-end and the data acquisition back-end is also discussed.

“…This led to the development of a number of custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) in specialized, radiation-tolerant semiconductor processes, and to a very limited use of commercial components. A number of ASICs were developed in the DMILL process [6], and several more using a commercial 0.25 µm "deep submicron" (DSM) process, but using a special library which was radiation hardened through the use of a custom-developed enclosed transistor geometry [7]. Details of the radiation qualification procedures and results will be outlined in a subsequent publication.…”
