| Description | Journal: Journal of Instrumentation In order to reduce the number of cables and gain a lower material budget, this paper presents an on-chip reference generator to provide the clamping voltage in monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) for the STAR experiment. It is realized by a regulator utilizing a buffer and a serial RC network. The proposed circuits can achieve good stability, low power dissipation and low noise. Moreover, the output voltage is adjustable to compensate the influence of the process. A prototype has been implemented in a 0.35 μm CMOS process. Its die area is 327 μm × 119 μm. The power dissipation is 677 μW. The measured results show that 5.3% of the noise in MAPS is induced by the reference generator. |
