Abstract

An integrated circuit for reading signals from silicon detectors intended for systems for measuring charges of cosmic particles and nuclei in space-based experiments is described. It contains a 16-channel charge-sensitive amplifier and two additional operational amplifiers produced by the 0.35 μm CMOS process. The power consumption of the charge-sensitive amplifier is ≤1 mW/channel, and the rms deviation of the noise does not exceed 2000 electrons. Circuit designs for separate stages of the integrated circuit and experimental characteristics are given.
