Integrity of analog signals saved Power saved No "fast" ADC required

Summary

Measured performance in accordance with Si-W ECAL VFE requirements

Time conversion < 7µs C ti 0 6 W h l Consumption < 0.6µW per channel (power pulsing included) 2.5% of the power budget of one VFE channel Linearity: DNL < +/1 LSB & INL < +/-1 LSB Noise standard deviation < 0.8 LSB

Yield improved with the new design of the amplifier A 12-bit cyclic ADC, dedicated to Si-W ECAL of ILC ready to be implemented in the next Skiroc chip.
