“…The 2019 upgrade of LHCb Muon System foresees a trigger-less 40 MHz readout scheme and requires the development of a new Off Detector Electronics (nODE) board, based on the nSYNC, a radiation tolerant custom ASIC developed in UMC 130 nm technology. …”

“…Several tests have been performed on the new readout electronics that will be here discussed, and that have allowed a comprehensive radiation hardness characterization of the UMC 130 nm technology, used to develop the main electronics device of the muon system readout electronics, the nSYNC chip. On the other hand, in the last two years of data taking, 2017 and 2018, an excellent performance of the LHCb experiment has been obtained and the significant increase in statistics allowed access to new observables, especially in the field of rare decays. …”
