Picosecond level timing resolution is a prerequisite capability for improved coincidence matching, time-of-flight measurements, and secondary vertex reconstruction. Here, we present the specification, design, and simulation results for a new Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), called PSEC6, in the TSMC...
Data from simulation results for the PSEC6 VCO, used to calcualted the K_vco factor as well as the tuning range. Data was collected across variation of the input parameters with parasitics and across all relevant corners.
