A self adjusting delay circuit for pixel readout chips
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple concept for automatic adjustment of important VLSI{circuit properties was proposed in 1]. As an application, a self adjusting monooop is reviewed, and detailed measurements are discussed regarding a possible implementation in the LHC 1 readout chip for the ATLAS{experiment 2].

Single Event Effects in the Pixel readout chip for BTeV
In future experiments the readout electronics for pixel detectors is required to be resistant to a very high radiation level. In this paper we report on irradiation tests performed on several preFPIX2 prototype pixel readout chips for the BTeV experiment exposed to a 200 MeV proton beam. The prototype chips have been implemented in commercial 0.25 μm CMOS processes following radiation tolerant ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Active Pixel Sensor Readout Circuit
This brief provides a detailed analysis of active pixel sensor, pixel and column circuit. Surprisingly, we find that shorter readout times can be achieved by reducing the bias current and hence reducing energy consumption. We investigate the effect of nonidealities on the readout operation. We find that when the follower transistor channel-length modulation is taken into consideration, delay is...
متن کاملOptically sensitive Medipix2 detector for adaptive optics wavefront sensing
A new hybrid optical detector is described that has many of the attributes desired for the next generation adaptive optics (AO) wavefront sensors. The detector consists of a proximity focused MCP read out by multipixel application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips developed at CERN (“Medipix2”) with individual pixels that amplify, discriminate and count input events. The detector has 256...
متن کاملAnalysis of Aps Readout Circuit Delay
ABSTRACT The paper provides a complete analysis of the APS pixel and column circuit delay. Contrary to common belief, we show that shorter settling times can be achieved by reducing the bias current and hence reducing energy consumption. We then investigate the effect of non-idealities on the readout operation. We find that when the follower transistor channel length modulation is taken into co...
متن کاملDigital pixel readout integrated circuit architectures for LWIR
This paper presents and discusses digital pixel readout integrated circuit architectures for long wavelength infrared (LWIR) in CMOS technology. Presented architectures are designed for scanning and staring arrays type detectors respectively. For scanning arrays, digital time delay integration (TDI) is implemented on 8 pixels with sampling rate up to 3 using CMOS 180nm technology. Input referre...
