The ASIC has been manufactured using XFAB 0.18 mm CMOS technology. The main characteristics of the HRFlexToT, compared to its predecessor, are a new energy measurement readout providing a linear Time Over Threshold (ToT) with an extended dynamic range, lower power consumption and better timing response. Initial measurements show a linearity error below 3%. Single Photon Time Resolution (SPTR) measurements performed using a Hamamatsu MPPC S13360-3050CS (3x3 mm2 pixel, 50 umm cell) shows 30% improvement with respect to the previous version of the ASIC, setting this specification in the order of 141 ps FWHM and reducing 3 times power consumption. It is important to highlight that an SPTR of 141 ps FWHM is, according to the best of our knowledge, the best resolution achieved so far for this sensor.

High data rates in combination with the employment of a novel technique for rejecting locally low transverse momentum particles as well as the strict low power consumption constraints require the implementation of an optimized readout architecture and specific interconnect synchronization schemes for its components. \u0000This work focuses on the development and the verification of the Concentrator IC (CIC) ASIC, a 65 nm digital chip featuring high input and output data rates, in the context of the readout chains incorporating all front-end ASICs: namely the Macro Pixel ASIC (MPA), Short Strip ASIC (SSA) for the Pixel-Strip (PS) modules and the CMS Binary Chip (CBC) for Strip-Strip (2S) Modules. The CIC ASIC receives high data rate (320 MHz) digital streams from eight Front-end ASICs via a total of 48 differential lines and transmits them through seven differential lines operating at 320 MHz or 640 MHz, depending on the occupancy of the detector module. \u0000A complex system level simulation environment based on the System-Verilog hardware description language and on the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) platform has been adapted and extended to help the CIC development and verification simulating the complete readout chains from the particle event to the output of the modules. \u0000The paper is composed of four sections: the first one describes the pT module concept, the second presents the UVM environment for MPA/SSA ASICs adapted and extended to include the CIC, the third one shows the readout-chain forecasted performances and show some examples of usage of this framework.
