The VMM3a is a System on Chip (SoC) custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).

It is the production version which will be used as the front ASIC for both Micromegas and sTGC detectors of the ATLAS Muon New Small Wheels upgrade.

Due to its highly configurable parameters it can be used in a variety of tracking detectors and it is already proposed for another five experiments. During the talk Georges Iakovidis from CERN will present the architecture, features and options of the chip as well as performance with detectors.
