/ Weick, Julian (Darmstadt, Tech. U. ; CERN) ; Zoubir, A M (Darmstadt, Tech. U.) ; Riedler, P (CERN) ; Berlea, D V (DESY) ; Tortajada, I Asensi (CERN) ; Dobrijevic, D (Zagreb U.) ; Suligoj, Tomislav (Zagreb U.) ; Fasselt, L (DESY) ; Pernegger, H (CERN) ; Snoeys, W (CERN) et al.
With increasing demand for active sensor surface and compact modularization, monolithic active pixel sensors are gaining track in high-energy physics experiments. The analog circuits in these mixed-signal ASICs are often black boxes where the components’ function and the circuitry’s behavior can only be evaluated through simulation or educated guesses. [...]
