A brief summary of first tests of several monolithic frontend chips is presented. They are designed for readout of silicon strip detectors and have in common that they are all based on the same charge-sensitive preamplifier/shaper configuration, for which the main design goal was the lowest possible noise at low power consumption. Measurements show that low-noise levels of ENC = 165e^- + 12e^-/pF have been reached. Ausführliche Beschreibung
