Abstract :
A switched capacitor array (SCA) application specific integrated circuit is being developed for the front-end readout of the forward muon chambers for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The SCA design requires full analog wave sampling with 10-bit accuracy over a one volt range. The present SCA circuit was designed and simulated to approach these requirements. Several iterations of a prototype have been fabricated in the CMOS HP 1.2 μm process. Test results are provided and major concerns related to SCA operation are discussed in detail. Suggested modifications for the next ASIC iteration are discussed
