An integrated circuit for reading out signals of silicon detectors

An integrated circuit (IC) for recording signals and studying characteristics of silicon detectors is designed and experimentally checked. The basic purpose of the IC is to use it in test setups with sources of ionizing radiation and on accelerators for studying silicon detectors of a new geometry (layout). The IC allows evaluation of the operation of the “silicon detector-readout electronics” system for relativistic particles and nuclei with a charge from Z = 1 to Z > 50. The results of designing the IC and its experimental characteristics are given.
