Proposal for a radiation-hard digitizer chip with high bandwidth and resolution for NLC beam position monitoring at high-energy physics facilities. The design utilizes deep-submicron technology to achieve 11-bit resolution, 500 MHz bandwidth, and 2 G samples/s. The project aims to address the digitization needs of multi-bunch BPM systems, offering easy access for testing and maintenance without requiring costly shielding. The plan includes completing the design, layout, and testing of the digitizer chip, with radiation hardness tests and continued system development.
