Abstract
A 130 nm CMOS chip has been designed for silicon microstrip readout at the SLHC. The CBC has 128 channels, and utilises a binary un-sparsified architecture for chip and system simplicity. It is designed to read out signals of either polarity from short strips (capacitances up to ∼ 10 pF) and can sink or source sensor leakage currents up to 1 μA. Details of the design and measured performance are presented.
