| contents | COFFEE series is a HVCMOS pixel sensor using the advanced 55 nm process, currently being developed for the Upstream Pixel (UP) tracker of the LHCb Upgrade II. To ensure that COFFEE will be able to handle the particle hit rates at UP tracker, which reach a maximum of 322.5 MHz/chip, detailed simulation of the digital readout circuitry was performed. Simulation results show that the column-drain readout mechanism achieves nearly 100\% efficiency when the single readout cycle does not exceed 100 ns. Meanwhile, the buffer depth and memory resources required for the peripheral readout adapted to the BXID-sharing data format are also evaluated. These provide guidance for the design of COFFEE. The column-drain readout mechanism was used in COFFEE3 (fabricated in 2025), while the peripheral readout architecture adapted to the BXID-sharing data format is implemented in CHiR (taped out in early 2026). |
