A family of transient recorder ASICs for detector readout

A set of highly integrated read out ASICs with a common digitising and data acquisition back end but different front ends is currently under development at the GSI electronics department. The concept consists in using an analogue transient recorder stage for an efficient application of the area and power consuming analogue to digital converter. A focus of these ASICs is the read out of detectors with a large dynamic range. Possible applications could be the electromagnetic calorimeter of the PANDA detector or the GEM TPC of the Super-FRS at FAIR.
