1 MHz sampling rate 12-bit low-power analog-to-digital converter for data processing in particle detectors
Abstract
A very low-power (12 mW), 1 MHz sampling rate 12-bit ADC circuit, using a commercial 3 μm CMOS process has been developed. This ADC component is well-adapted to use in front-end electronics for the readout of particle detectors in high-luminosity hadron colliders such as LHC or SSC. We discuss here the design options and report on the performance.
