Abstract
The cryogenic design of a cold CMOS readout channel to be used in the Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) aboard the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO, formerly called FIRST) [1], is presented. Robust architectures and optimized sizing reduce the effect of cryogenic anomalities on the circuit. Simulation results and tests, both at room temperature and 4 K show a non-linearity < 2%, a hysteresis of <5mV and noise <100nV/Hz1/2 @ 30 Hz.
