Abstract
We report on a digital circuit for data acquisition that has been deve loped for high energy physics applications. Its function is to receive asynchronous voltage pulses, time-stamp them individually and transmi t them sequentially on an external bus. A 16-channel design has been f abricated as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) using t he HP 1.2 mu m double-metal, single-polysilicon process. Test results made on prototype chips indicate that the circuit performs within spec ifications for an operating clock frequency of 25 MHz and a working en vironment temperature of 0 degrees C to 40 degrees C.
