Abstract
In this paper, we describe the realization of an ASIC which may significant ly simplify the instrumental apparatus for measures in UHV (ultra-high vacu um, p less than or equal to 10(-9) mbar) while permitting very fast acquisi tions. The chip will first be used in ESCA experiments; however, its parall el architecture and the fast serial protocol for data transmission may incr ease the efficiency of the measure process in any experiment where multicha nnel acquisition is a key issue.
