Abstract

We designed, constructed, and tested a CMOS ASIC consisting of a preamplifier, shaping amplifier, and externally adjustable discriminator. This device was designed for detectors with reasonably fast rise times (compared to 1 μs) and capacitances in the range of 5 to 100 pF. The design was implemented with both PMOS and NMOS inputs. The NMOS version has a superior noise slope of 7 rms e/pF and an average noise at 6 pF input load of less than 375 rms electrons. The charge conversion sensitivity is 2.4 V/pC and the power drain is less than 10 mW/channel.
