A front-end readout chip VFAT3 was designed for the muon detector gas electron multipliers (GEM). GEMs were installed at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN for the high luminosity upgrade. The design of the VFAT3 uses 790 analog and 172 digital blocks which are highly integrated, thus it is crucial...
