Launch of HXMT with IDEAS Integrated Circuits
The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) was launched on June 15, 2017 into sun synchronous orbit at 550km altitude [REF1]. HXMT is a joint effort of Continue reading
EUROSTARS NGSDuo Mixed Radiation Sensor System
We have started the new Eurostars project NGSDuo – a mixed radiation sensor system for combined hyper-spectral gamma imaging and neutron detection. The Eurostars project will be carried out by
Central tracker for BM@N experiment based on DSSD with VATAGP7.1 ASIC
How to acquire electric charge from thousands of micro-strips in a double sided strip detector (DSSD)? An answer was presented at the INSTR-17 conference by Khabarov et al. for the central tracker in the BM@N experiment [REF1]. They used 80 chips of the type VATAGP7.1 ASIC to read out a total of 10240 strips DSSD.

New ROIC/ASIC Development and Prototype Systems
During the year 2016 the IDEAS team has been working on ROIC/ASIC development and prototype systems. The systems are available now:
- XCS-1000 – energy resolved photon counting system with pixelated CZT sensor, (application).
- CZT-CAM – small gamma camera with pixelated CZT sensor.
- GALAO – ROIC/ASIC development kit with SiPM arrays.
- ROSMAP – multi-anode PMT readout system, for counting or pulse height spectroscopy.
New IDEAS ASICs in 2016
In the year 2016 the IDEAS team has worked on new ASICs for the readout of radiation detectors and imaging sensors:
- IDE3380 – SiPM array readout ASIC, SIPHRA, (more)
- IDE8410 – Image sensor readout controller, NIRCA, (Proc. SPIE DSS 2016)
- IDE3466 – Space radiation monitor readout for ESA JUICE RADEM, (Proc. SPIE Astro. 2016)
- IDE1163 – GEM readout, gas electron multipliers, for BM@N
- VATAGP9 – Silicon strip readout, 256 channels, for AEGIS at CERN
We have also designed test boards and a readout system (GALAO) Continue reading
