Abstract

Development of readout electronics for Time Projection Chamber for a Linear Collider is ongoing under stringent requirements on high channel density, lowest possible power consumption and small material budget. In the studied TPC readout electronics time and charge of TPC signals are measured with the help of Time-to-Digit Converters. Optimization of performance of this electronics is considered and a methodology of signal simulation is presented.
