The ETROC2 prototype for CMS MTD Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) upgrade

The ETROC2 prototype for CMS MTD Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) upgrade 520__ $$aThe Endcap Timing ReadOut Chip (ETROC) is designed to process LGAD signals with time resolution down to about 40-50ps per hit. The ETROC2 is the first full size (16x16) prototype design with the front-end based on and scaled up from the ETROC1 (4x4). The readout designs at pixel and global level and the system interfaces are all new and are compatible with the final chip specifications in terms of functionality. The ETROC2 is intended as a learning chip, as a stepstone to the ETROC3 which is intended as the pre-production design. The ETROC2 design and test results will be presented.
