A fast monolithic active pixel sensor with pixel-level reset noise suppression and binary outputs for charged particle detection

practice, the rise time should be less than one read-out clock period, unless the read-out architecture with two lines switched alternatively to the output amplifier is used as

Monolithic active pixel sensors is prospected for charged particle detection due to the high spatial resolution, low material budget, potential radiation tolerance,

The analog outputs are used to study the pixels individu- ally, and to characterize their pedestal, temporal noise and their charge collection efficiency.. The digital outputs have

The first eight columns of the array are processed by the block of eight current integrating transimpedance amplifiers, de- scribed in one of the next sections. The current signals

will be detected 5 σ above the noise if the star magnitude gets brighter than 20 in blue and 19 in red at maximum. With the Pixel Method, our ability to detect a luminosity variation
