Low-Power High Time Resolution Charge Detection ROIC in 40nm CMOS Technology
2024 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)(2024)
Abstract
State-of-the-art readout integrated circuits (ROICs) operating in particle-counting mode are tending toward high time resolution in the nanosecond range, low-noise for accurate detection of lower-energy particles, and low-power consumption allowing the use of multiple channels on a single die. In previous reports we have presented a particle counting ROIC comprising: a charge-sensitive amplifier (CSA), an active shaping filter, and a discriminator. The use of an active shaping filter provides additional gain for the signal, which relaxes the requirements for the discriminator and makes it more power-efficient. At the same time, the active shaping filter itself consumes a considerable amount of power to operate properly. In this paper we present an alternative solution, based on the same architecture, in which the active shaping filter is replaced by a passive high-pass RC filter with no static power consumption. The price to pay is increased power consumption of a more advanced discriminator with periodic offset compensation. Nevertheless, we report a comparable performance of the two solutions with a $32\ \%$ overall power reduction with the passive RC filter. The design is made for TSMC $40\ \text{nm}$ MS/RF CMOS technology.
