Abstract

The work done for both PHENIX and the Naval Research Laboratory in the area of full-custom, mixed-signal complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated electronics are outlined. An architecture utilizing simultaneous read-write analog memories will be used throughout the detector to allow data to be continuously taken even during event readout. The architectures chosen for the various PHENIX detectors include position-sensitive silicon, capacitive pixel, and phototube detectors. The performance of the custom preamplifiers, discriminators, analog memories, analog-digital converters, and control circuitry for all systems are presented.
