Abstract
A prototype 16-channel readout chip for a X-ray detection system using silicon strip detectors is presented. The chip has been designed as a full custom ASIC for the AMS 1.2 μm CMOS process. Single channel of the circuit consists of low noise, medium speed preamplifier, followed by a shaper and a discriminator. Such a system allows to use silicon strip detectors in the single photon counting mode. Key design issues and optimization of critical design parameters are discussed. Measurement results from the successfully manufactured prototype are presented and discussed.
