Abstract
A readout system for Si microstrip detectors has been developed in whi ch inductors are placed between each strip thus forming an LC delay li ne with the detector's intrinsic capacitance. Each strip in a 50-strip detector is resolved and a time resolution of 800 ps is obtained with 5.49 MeV alpha particles. Only two fast signals and an energy signal are needed from an entire detector in order to determine a particle's time of arrival, position and energy. The system requires little power and is made of components that are available commercially.
