Abstract
This paper discusses the criteria that underlie the design of front-end sys tems for pixel sensors of different types in a highly diversified fields of application. In the pixel front-end systems, low level analog signals coex ist with digital activities and the design must comply with severe limitati ons in the area and in the power allotted to the single pixel cell. Noise a nd radiation hardness issues are of utmost importance in several applicatio ns. Some ways to arrive at a design which suits specific application requir ements are discussed and the impact of the most advanced monolithic process es is evaluated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
