Description

Analog front-end electronics are described for the SDC Silicon Tracker, a large (17 m2) silicon tracking detector with about 6.5x106 channels. The experimental environment and derivation of the design concept are discussed. Technology choices to meet the noise, speed, and radiation resistance requirements are summarized. First iteration ICs have been fabricated and preliminary results are presented. Complete 64-channel ICs remain fully functional after exposure to a particle fluence of 3x1013 cm-2 (500 MeV protons). Prospects for design improvements are presented. (orig.)
