TL;DR: In this article, the requirements for pixel readout electronics for high energy physics experiments and biomedical applications are reviewed and some examples of the measured analog performance of prototype chips are given, including the readout architectures of the PIxel readout for the ATlas experiment (PIRATE) chip suited for LHC experiments and of the multi-picture element counter (MPEC) counting chip targeted for biomedical applications.

TL;DR: The ATLAS experiment at LHC will use 3 barrel layers and 2×5 disks of silicon pixel detectors as the innermost elements of the semiconductor tracker as discussed by the authors, which includes an n+ on n-type silicon sensor and 16 VLSI front-end (FE) chips.

TL;DR: A low power front-end readout architecture which allows reading out several SiPMs though a single line in order to maximize the number of SiPMS is presented and offers good timing performance and includes a simple charge digitizer in every channel.

TL;DR: The DEPMOSFET based active pixel sensor (APS) matrices are a new detector concept for X-ray imaging spectroscopy missions as mentioned in this paper, which can cope with the challenging requirements of the XEUS Wide Field Imager and combine excellent energy resolution, high speed readout and low power consumption with the feature of random accessibility of pixels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the use of active pixel sensors (APS) for the X-ray Evolving Universe Spectroscopy (XEUS) mission, which represents a potential follow-on mission to the ESA cornerstone XMM currently in orbit.
