Abstract
An analog signal from each pixelated sensor is divided into two dimensional directions, and 2n signal channels from a small n by n pixel matrix are ORed as n column and n row channels, then the signals are processed by a readout circuit in each small matrix. This PIXOR scheme reduces the number of readout channels and avoids a deterioration of intrinsic position resolution due to large circuit area, that was a common issue for monolithic detectors. This feature allows high resolution, low occupancy and on-sensor signal processing at the same time. We present the successful results of the PIXOR readout scheme using a first prototype.
