The CMS silicon microstrip tracker readout system is unprecedented in size, with over nine million channels. It is an analogue readout system, implemented using CMOS ASICs and linear, semiconductor laser transmitters which send pulse height data off-detector for digitisation and the first level of data processing. The basic components which define the architecture originated in R&D projects in the early 1990s and were crucial in allowing this system to be realised. The availability of several key technologies was critical to achieving the design preferences, and the components and technologies were utilised also to build the control and monitoring system and, later, to implement critical elements of other CMS sub-detector systems. The background to the technology choices and early development of the system is described and an attempt is made to draw some lessons which could be relevant for the future.

Dead-time effects in X-ray spectra taken with a digital pulse processor and a silicon drift detector were investigated when the number of events at the low-energy end of the spectrum was more than half of the total, at counting rates up to 56 kHz. It was found that dead-time losses in the spectra are energy dependent and an analytical correction for this effect, which takes into account pulse pile-up, is proposed. This and the usual models have been applied to experimental measurements, evaluating the dead-time fraction either from the calculations or using the value given by the detector acquisition system. The energy-dependent dead-time model proposed fits accurately the experimental energy spectra in the range of counting rates explored in this work. A selection chart of the simplest mathematical model able to correct the pulse-height distribution according to counting rate and energy spectrum characteristics is included.
