Front-end readout electronics have been developed for silicon strip detectors at our institute. In this system an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) ATHED is used to realize multi-channel energy and time measurements. The slow control of ASIC chips is achieved by parallel port and the timing control signals of ASIC chips are implemented with the CPLD. The data acquisition is carried out with a PXI-DAQ card. The software has a user-friendly GUI developed with LabWindows/CVI in the Windows XP operating system. The test results show that the energy resolution is about 1.14% for alpha at 5.48 MeV and the maximum channel crosstalk of the system is 4.60%. The performance of the system is very reliable and is suitable for nuclear physics experiments.
Modern pixel detectors in nuclear and particle physics experiments and also in nuclear imaging,starve for highly integrated application specified integrated circuit(ASIC),whereas in China the study of ASIC still stays far away from practical application.The lack of ASIC strictly limits the research and development of domestic high energy physics field.A 12-bit multichannel ADC designed for high density readout is introduced as a major candidate for solution.A precise model is discussed and the simulation fully agrees with the model,which indicates a key principle of design.Design is performed according to the given rule,and novel layout techniques are carried out.Measurement results in all aspects are also obtained,showing an excellent real performance,which satisfies the practical requirement.

The objective of this paper is to design and simulate a shaping amplifier circuit for silicon strip,Si(Li),CdZnTe and CsI detectors,etc.,which can be further integrated the whole system and adopted to develop CMOS-based application,specific integrated circuit for Front End Electronics(FEE) of read-out system of nuclear physics,particle physics and astrophysics research,etc.It's why we used only CMOS transistor to develop the entire system.A Pseudo-Gaussian shaping amplifier made by fourth-order integration stage and a differentiation stage give a result same as a true CR-RC4 filter,we perform shaping time in the range,465 ns to 2.76μs with a low output resistance and the linearity almost good.
