Abstract
A new silicon strip readout chip called the SVX3 has been designed for the 720 000 channel CDF silicon upgrade at Fermilab. SVX3 incorporate s an integrator, analog delay pipeline, ADC, and data sparsification f or each of 128 identical channels. Many of the operating parameters ar e programmable via a serial bit stream, which allows the chip to be us ed under a variety of conditions. Distinct features of SVX3 include us e of a backside substrate contact for optimal ground referencing, and the capability of simultaneous signal acquisition and digital readout, allowing deadtimeless operation in the Fermilab Tevatron.
