Based on 512 units X-ray detector read-out circuit, the structure and OPA of traditional variable gain amplifier (VGA) circuit was optimized, enabling it to have the correlated double sampling (CDS) function, the entire circuit was optimized. The circuit structure and operational principle of improved VGA are analyzed. The function simulation and the taped-out were fabricated with the 0.35 μm 2P4MCMOS technology of Chartered. The simulation and test results demonstrate that the improved VGA module can realize the correlated double sampling function effectively, suppress fixed pattern noise and obtain wide band with low noise, fully satisfying the 10 bit precision of system request. As to the optimized front-end read out circuit, the function proves correct, the area reduces by 51% and the power consumption drops by about 27% comparing with the unimproved circuit.
