Seminare de DPNC ================ Mercredi, 13. mar. 1996 17.00 - Auditoire Stuckelberg Universite de Geneve Departement de physique nucleaire et corpusculaire 24, quai Ernest-Ansermet 1211 Geneva 4 Tel. 022 702 6273 Fax 022 781 2192 ****************************************************************************** Sujet: Switched capacitor systems for high rate readout of silicon trackers at LHC Par: Dr. Roberto Bonino Universite de Geneve Resume: The talk will introduce the basic concept of switched capacitor circuits . Then the requirements of silicon trackers readout at LHC will be reviewed , showing how a pipelined analog storage sytem based on switched capacitors provides a power effective alternative for data acquisition. The development of a complete readout system based on switched capacitors circuits, including test beam results will be described. Other applications of switched capacitors pipelines will also be presented.
