The ILC ECAL front-end chip will integrate many functions of the readout electronics including a DAC dedicated to the calibration. We present a 14 bit DAC, designed in a CMOS 0.35 μm process and based on segmented arrays of switched capacitors controlled by a Dynamic Element Matching (DEM) algorithm. This DAC features an INL lower than 0.5 LSB at 5 MHz, and dissipates less than 7 mW.
This paper describes a readout channel suitable for infrared and terahertz bolometric sensors arrays where the signal integration is performed simultaneously with the analog-to-digital conversion in a columnwise architecture. By exploiting the need of an integrator both in conventional IR readout channels and incremental converters, the proposed circuit implements a 5-bit continuous-time incremental...
The design of a full integrated electronics readout for the next ILC ECAL presents many challenges. Low power dissipation is required, and it will be necessary to integrate together the very front-end stages with an analog to digital converter. We present here a 12 bit 30 MHz analog to digital converter using a pipelined architecture. It is composed by ten 1.5 bit sub-ADC with a final 2 bit flash...
An integrated readout circuit for Lab-on-a-Chip applications is presented. The overall system consist of a 640times480 array of capacitor sensors and actuators. Sensors detect dielectric permittivity variation thanks to dielectrophoresis (DEP) process. Usually for this kind of applications an off-chip analog-to-digital converter is used. As a consequence, the noise floor increases and high signal-to-noise...
