The front-end (FE) stage has an input impedance below 50 Ω and an input dynamic range from 5 μA to 5 mA with a power consumption of ∼5 mW/channel. The chip includes a Leading Edge Comparator (LED) and a Constant Fraction Discriminator (CFD) for time pick-off and a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) for digitization. 1 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Manera, R. et al., 2024http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/DetectorsCircuits electrònicsRadiacióDetectorsElectronic circuitsRadiationThe analog front end for FastRICH: an ASIC for the LHCb RICH detector upgradeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7579602025-04-23info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
