Digital read-out chip for silicon strip detectors at SDC

At Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, in collaboration with University of California-Santa Cruz and the University of Oxford, we were involved in the design and development of the digital readout schemes for the front end of the silicon strip detector at SDC. As a result of our work, we have designed and built a 128 channel integrated circuit to buffer hit patterns and to transmit them out of the detector module. This integrated circuit is referred to as DDR2RH (Digital Data Read-out Radiation Hardened Version).<
