An analog bipolar-JFET master slice array for front-end electronics design

摘要

An analog bipolar-JFET Master Slice Array (MSA) has been designed for implementation of ICs used in nuclear physics front-end electronics. The universal conception of MSAs active and passive elements provides great functional complexity to ICs in using them. The quality of active element parameters, number and values of available resistors and capacitors made it possible to integrate a four channel amplifier-shaper-discriminator with a base line restorer into the MSA die with dimensions 2.7 mm x 3.6 turn. Eight-channel ICs can be made by connection of two chips by metal wiring on a wafer. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. [References: 26]
