Project: APFEL (Asic for Panda Front-end ELectronic)

Abstract:

For the electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) of the PANDA experiment a preamplifier and shaper is under development. The designed application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is optimized for the readout of APDs with a capacitance of 300 pF. On each ASIC two equivalent readout channels and a serial interface are implemented. The results of the second iteration realized in a 350 nm CMOS process are presented in the attached documents.

Timetable:

• Sep. 2005: Start the ASIC development / first calculations
• Nov. 2005: Submission 1st iteration / proof of concept
• Feb. 2006: 1st iteration / electronic test
• Mai. 2007: Submission 2nd iteration / design improvement
• Aug. 2007: 2nd iteration / parameter specification
• Dec. 2007: 2nd iteration / first detector test
