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).
