A VLSI front-end circuit for microstrip silicon detectors for medical imaging applications

An analog CMOS-Integrated Circuit has been developed as Front-End for a double-sided microstrip silicon detector. The IC processes and discriminates signals in the 5–30 keV energy range. Main features are low noise and precise timing information. Low noise is achieved by optimizing the cascoded inte...
