Abstract
The demanding requirements for pixel readout electronics for high-energy ph ysics experiments and biomedical applications are reviewed. Some examples o f the measured analog performance of prototype chips are given. The readout architectures of the Pixel Readout fdr the ATlas Experiment (PIRATE) chip suited for LHC experiments and of the Multi Picture Element Counter (MPEC) counting chip targeted for biomedical applications are presented. First res ults with complete chip-sensor assemblies are also shown. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
