We report on preliminary design studies of a pixel detector for CMS at the Super-LHC. The goal of these studies was to investigate the possibility of designing an inner tracker pixel detector whose data could be used for selecting events at the First Level Trigger. The detector considered consists of two layers of 20x50x10 um3 pixels at very close radial proximity from each other so that coincidences of hits between the two layers amount to a track transverse momentum (pT) cut. This cut reduces the large amount of low-momentum data expected at SLHC while keeping the tracking efficiency very high for the high pT tracks. Preliminary results on the performance of such a detector are presented.
