The course gives an introduction to integrated front end electronics for the free running readout of highly segmented detectors (pixel detector, microstrip, silicon photomultiplier). After the course, a Workshop on Real time, self triggered front end electronics for multichannel detectors has been organized.

Topics:

• Architecture for integrated front-end
• Low noise front-end amplifiers
• High performance discriminators
• Ultra-low power ADC
• Low-power multi-channel TDC
• FPGA implementation
