  • 摘要: 针对强流环境下时间投影室TPC (Time Projection Chamber)探测器高计数率、大动态范围、低功耗的读出需求,基于180 nm CMOS工艺设计了一种自动调节增益的前放芯片。该芯片由电荷灵敏前放CSA (Charge Sensitive Amplifier)、Class AB输出缓冲级、增益控制模块、触发控制模块构成。通过片内逻辑信号控制多个开关的切换,使芯片的转换增益自适应输入电荷量;并通过开关泄放,使芯片工作于1 MHz计数率。经过后仿真,在输入信号范围为2.2~16.5 pC时,积分非线性好于0.4%。该芯片已经提交foundry流片。

     

    Abstract: To meet the readout requirements of high counting rate, large dynamic range, and low power consumption for Time Projection Chamber(TPC) detectors in high-intensity environments, a preamplifier chip with automatic gain adjustment was designed based on a 180 nm CMOS process. The chip consists of a Charge Sensitive Amplifier(CSA), a Class AB output buffer stage, a gain control module, and a trigger control module. Through on-chip logic signals controlling the switching of multiple switches, the chip’s conversion gain adapts to the input charge level. Additionally, switch bleeding enables the chip to operate at a counting rate of 1 MHz. Post-layout simulations show that the chip achieves an integral nonlinearity better than 0.4% across an input signal range of 2.2 to 16.5 pC. The chip has been submitted for foundry fabrication.
