CBM

Muon system of the international CBM experiment, being designed on the new accelerator facilities at FAIR GSI (Darmstadt, Germany), built on the base of the gaseous detector of high resolution. Muon System consists of about 1 million channels. For the Muon System signals read-out ASIC application is neccesary.

CHANNEL STRUCTUREPREAMP VER.1

11

CSA CORE

• Input transistor – nMOS (7mm * 360 nm) • Common source stage• Folded boost current amplifier • Output source follower

Feedback: gain setting cap + discharge transistor to set the maximum hit rate of channel not less than 2 MHz

12

SHAPER

Noninverting 2nd order

Sallen-Key filter

The shaper has two additional adjustments:- TAIL – tail cancellation- SH_BL – baseline tuning

13

PREAMPVER.2

• Input transistor – nMOS (4mm * 360 nm) • Common source stage• Folded boost current amplifier • Output source follower

Feedback: gain setting cap + discharge resistor to set the maximum hit rate of channel not less than 2 MHz
