Description
An analog memory array with 64 memory cells for each channel has been designed and manufactured in CMOS. A new skip logic controller allows to write at 66 MHz without dead time and to read out at a lower frequency simultaneously. The input circuit is charge-sensitive and integrates continuously. Pedestal nonuniformity is 1.4 mV rms from cell-to-cell and 3.5 mV rms between channels. The linearity range is -2.5 to +1.5 V, which corresponds to 11 bits. The chip has been used in a particle detection test. (orig.)
