Abstract
The performance of the latest prototype of the radiation hard front en d chip to be used by the CMS collaboration for analogue readout of the microstrip tracker has been evaluated with a silicon microstrip detec tor in a beam at CERN. The circuit, developed by the RD20 collaboratio n, consists of 128 channels of amplifier, pipeline memory, analogue si gnal processor and a serial multiplexer. As a result of these studies improvements in the circuit design have been devised which will be imp lemented in the next version.
