Description
Construction of the advanced megascience facilities, basing on advanced particle detector technologies, is closely connected with development of read-out electronics, having as a core element – application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
In order to reach limit specifications of multichannel detector setups a whole set of factors defines ASIC design. Today application specific chips should provide new level of functionality, fitting to a new set of constraints and trade-offs on technical specifications (like an integration scale, power consumption, speed, radiation hardness) as well as economic- and technology-related ones.
The talk presents overview of the state of the art and evolution in ASIC design for particle physics and astrophysics.
