Pulsenet - A Parallel Flash Sampler and Digital Processor IC for Optical SETI

Abstract

PulseNet is a full-custom IC with parallel flash ADC and digital processing that enables an all-sky optical search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It integrates 448 sense amplifiers that digitize 32 analog signals at 1GS/s, and other circuits that filter samples, store candidate signals, and perform astronomical observations. Its ~250,000 CMOS transistors (TSMC 0.25μm) dissipate 1.1W at 400MHz and 2.5V.
