First experimental results on Ignite0: A prototype pixel front-end ASIC with timing in 28 nm

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This contribution presents the results of the first test activity on the Ignite-0 ASIC . The main challenge of this microelectronics development is to reach an overall time resolution of at least 50 ps, on a pixel front-end ASIC within the constraints defined by high-luminosity HEP experiments. Ignite-0 has been developed during 2023 in order to test individually the building blocks for the future developments on the front-end ASIC. It contains mainly the pixel front-end electronics such as the Analog Front-End and the Time to Digital Converter, but it also integrates various service blocks . All the integrated blocks have been designed to satisfy the desired requirements and constraints both in terms of power, performance and form-factor.
