Abstract
Results are presented on a system of electronics designed for very hig h rate tracking detectors at the SSC and LHC. The primary goal was a s ystem for signal detection, time measurement, and readout for the stra w tracker for SDC. An integrated circuit incorporating eight channels of amplifier-shaper-discriminator (including detector tail cancellatio n), and two different integrated circuits for time measurement are des cribed. The performance of tracking measurements up to counting rates of 8 MHz per wire is reported, as well as preliminary results from a b aseline restoration circuit.
