An ASIC for multichannel data acquisition systems
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the realization of an ASIC which may significantly simplify the instrumental apparatus for measures in UHV (ultra-high vacuum, p≤10 -9 mbar) while permitting very fast acquisitions. The chip will first be used in ESCA experiments; however, its parallel architecture and the fast serial protocol for data transmission may increase the efficiency of the measure process in any experiment where multichannel acquisition is a key issue.
