Abstract
For the Phase-II upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer to High-Luminosity LHC, new front-end readout electronics for the Monitored Drift Tube chambers is required, as the old one no longer meets the demands. The first stage in the Monitored Drift Tubes readout chain is the Amplifier-Shaper-Discriminator chip. For the upgrade, the new ASD2 ASIC chip in IBM 130 nm CMOS technology has been developed. For the ATLAS experiment, 80000 ASD2 chips are produced, which have to be tested before integration in order to obtain the required 50000 well-performing chips in the end. Using a prototype tester board and pre-production ASD2 chips, the overall performance and the influence on programmable parameters is investigated. Based on these results, 1775 production chips are tested to define final optimized cut values for the automated production testing of all chips in the company.
