Current Status • First batch of 250 chips has been extensively worked on: • n-XYTER has been integrated into the CBM DAQ chain • it was employed in the CBM test beam activities and • extensively tested • Engineering run in preparation with the aim to • Supply enough data driven readout chips for FAIR detector prototyping • Identify and correct the source for the enormous temp. coefficient • Improve layout related signal cross talk on the chip • Employ production process with no epilayer ( • 110 000 Euros available for the engineering run (6000 chips), order is already out • Submission of the robust n-XYTER Nov/Dec this year.
