Psiroc is a 64-channel front-end ASIC designed to readout PIN diodes, silicon strips and GEMs, handling detector capacitances ranging from 0 up to few hundreds of pF.
Psiroc allows triggering down to 0.5 fC on sub-20pF detector capacitances and provides dual-gain energy measurement with excellent Signal-to-Noise Ratio on the high gain (SNR over 10 for 0.5 fC) and large dynamic range on the low gain. For input signals over few pC a channel-wise ToT output is also available. Psiroc can be programmed to output the shapers HG/LG, individual triggers or ToT signals (two output pins per channels). The preamplifier gain is adjustable from 125 mV/pC up to 4 V/pC.
Charge measurement is done with peak detectors but those can be used in a track & hold fashion thanks to an internal delay cell. Analog data are outputted on two multiplexed analog output and can be read-out with an external ADC. Shapers shaping time can be adjusted from 20 ns to 3 µs with a step of 20 ns up to 300 ns and a step of 200 ns up to 3 µs. Data acquisition can be done ASIC wide or channel-wise.
Channel-by-channel calibration on the trigger thresholds for time trigger and ToT can be done with individual 6-bit DACs.
