VA64TAP: backup read-out electronics
VA64TAP is a low-power, low-noise
ASIC with 64 channels, each with:
 preamplifier (ENC ~ 500 @ 10 pF)
 amplifier (can be switched off)
 fast CR-RC shaper (75 ns)
 discriminator with 4-bit trim-DAC
 threshold uniformity: +-200e-
 threshold nominal value: 3000e-
 power: 2.3 mW/ch.
 parallel output
 die size: 5.5mm x 5.4mm
Auxiliary chip LS64: logic level adapter, converts current logic (from
VA64TAP) into CMOS logic (0V, 2.5V - 5V).
