Design of a Mixed-signal ASIC for the front-end electronics of ionisation chambers


New technical paper titled "An Ultra Low Current Measurement Mixed-Signal ASIC for Radiation Monitoring Using Ionisation Chambers," by researchers at CERN. Abstract "Measurement of total ionizing dose in a radiation field is efficiently carried out by ionisation chambers. The paper details the design of a mixed-signal ASIC for the front-end electronics of ionisation chambers. A single c... » read more

System Bits: April 11


Tiny transistors made from self-assembled carbon nanotubes While carbon nanotubes can be used to make very small electronic devices, they are difficult to handle. Now, researchers from the University of Groningen, the University of Wuppertal, and IBM Zurich, have developed a method to select semiconducting nanotubes from a solution, and make them self-assemble on a circuit of gold electrodes. ... » read more
