ASICS

The three ASICs presented below were developped to optimize the front-end stage of low-noise detector readout, either for CCD and IR pixel imagers in SNAP (Dual slope integrator and Clamp & sample), or for  Cooled large area photodiodes in SNDICE (femto-ammeter).
A fourth new ASIC is being developped with LAL(Orsay), for CCD imager front-end in LSST (Dual Slope Integrator & Clamp & Sample)
