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 for the front end 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).<>
