Abstract :
The microstrip vertex detector in BaBar experiment will be read out by a purposely designed front-end chip. The chip performs amplification and analog-to-digital conversion to retain the information of the charge induced on the readout strips. It stores the digital data during the trigger latency time and associates the incoming trigger with the relevant hit data. Data are buffered and sent off in sparsified form when a readout command is received. The present paper discusses the signal processing performed by the chip.
