Abstract :
In this paper we report on the development of an ASIC for readout of position sensitive neutron detectors based on low-pressure Micro-Strip Gas Chambers with solid composite 157Gd/CsI converter. Global counting rates of 108 cps for a detector area of 25×25 cm2 covered with 400×400 strips requiring 2 ns time resolution for coincidences of signals from X- and Y-strips set very demanding requirements for the ASIC performance.
