Abstract
In this paper, we describe the realization of an ASIC which may signi"cantly simplify the instrumental apparatus for
measures in UHV (ultra-high vacuum, p410~9 mbar) while permitting very fast acquisitions. The chip will "rst be used
in ESCA experiments; however, its parallel architecture and the fast serial protocol for data transmission may increase
the e$ciency of the measure process in any experiment where multichannel acquisition is a key issue.
