摘要

The SPACIROC ASIC is designed for the JEM-EUSO fluorescence imaging telescope onboard of the In-ternationalSpace Station. Its goal is the detection of Giant Air Showers above a few 1019eV, developing at a distance of about 400 km, downward in the troposphere. From such distance, most of the time, the number of the photons ex-pectedin the pixels is very weak, ranging from a few units to a few tens. For such running conditions, we propose alow-power, rad-hard ASIC which is intended for reading out a 64-channel Multi-Anode Photomultiplier. The twomain features of this ASIC are the photon counting mode for each input and the charge-to-time (Q-to-T) conversionsfor the multiplexed channels. In the photon counting mode, the 100% triggering efficiency is achieved for 50fC inputcharges. For the Q-to-T converter, the ASIC requires a minimum input of 2pC. Moreover SPACIROC is required tohave a low power dissipation which is around 1mW/channel. We will describe in details the architecture of this ASICand how the required specifications are satisfied. SPACIROC is a result of the collaboration between OMEGA/LAL-Orsay,France, RIKEN, ISAS/JAXA and Konan University, Japan on behalf of the JEM-EUSO consortium.
