Query: TARGET: A Digitizing And Trigger ASIC For The Cherenkov Telescope Array   The future ground-based gamma-ray observatory Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA)
will feature multiple types of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, each
with thousands of pixels. To be affordable, camera concepts for these
telescopes have to feature low cost per channel and at the same time meet the
requirements for CTA in order to achieve the desired scientific goals. We
present the concept of the TeV Array Readout Electronics with GSa/s sampling
and Event Trigger (TARGET) Application Specific Circuit (ASIC), envisaged to be
used in the cameras of various CTA telescopes, e.g. the Gamma-ray Cherenkov
Telescope (GCT), a proposed 2-Mirror Small-Sized Telescope, and the
Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT), a proposed Medium-Sized Telescope. In the
latest version of this readout concept the sampling and trigger parts are split
into dedicated ASICs, TARGET C and T5TEA, both providing 16 parallel input
channels. TARGET C features a tunable sampling rate (usually 1 GSa/s), a 16k
sample deep buffer for each channel and on-demand digitization and transmission
of waveforms with typical spans of ~100 ns. The trigger ASIC, T5TEA, provides 4
low voltage differential signal (LVDS) trigger outputs and can generate a
pedestal voltage independently for each channel. Trigger signals are generated
by T5TEA based on the analog sum of the input in four independent groups of
four adjacent channels and compared to a threshold set by the user. Thus, T5TEA
generates four LVDS trigger outputs, as well as 16 pedestal voltages fed to
TARGET C independently for each channel. We show preliminary results of the
characterization and testing of TARGET C and T5TEA.
