Abstract
The new integrated device for detection and measurement of particle trajectory is based on the SCT silicon strip detectors developed for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC at CERN. The new read-out interface communicates through the USB2.0 standard and provides control, power and data acquisition for the strip detectors. A field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) allows controlling the front-end module electronics at frequency of 40 MHz. The assembled system is designed as an integrated compact unit consisting of the detection module and the integrated interface. The compact unit is powered by an external low voltage source and triggered by external trigger signal. The device operates as a flexible and portable large area position sensitive detector intended for detection and tracking of energetic particles from accelerator-based sources.
