Abstract

The fully integrated readout channel with amplitude and time measurement for antimatter spectrometer (AMS) experiment on the International Space Station Alpha (ISSA) is presented. The purpose of each readout channel is to collect the signal charge and produce two voltage levels. Due to large number of these readout channels and to the reduced energy available in the space station, a low power consumption for each channel is allowed. The whole readout system has been designed in HF3 complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), a BiCMOS technology with 1.2 μm minimum CMOS channel length. The system operates with a single 4 V supply consuming 4.8 mW.
