Abstract :
A chip has been developed for reading out the silicon strip detectors in the new BTEV colliding beam experiment at Fermilab. The chip has been designed in a 0.25 μ CMOS technology for high radiation tolerance. Numerous programmable features have been added to the chip, such as setup for operation at different beam crossing intervals. A full size chip has been fabricated and successfully tested. The design philosophy, circuit features, and test results are presented in this paper.
