Abstract

A 64-channel amplifier-comparator silicon strip detector fabricated on the Tekronix SHPi bipolar process is described. This device is particularly useful in high rate colliders with silicon strip vertex detection. This amplifier-comparator meets the performance goals for the ZEUS LPS. It has low noise, radiation resistance, very low power, and good stability, and is easy to use. The power use and noise are close to those needed in the SDC tracker for the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider). Circuit measurements show that the circuit will perform properly in its expected environment
