Abstract :
The development and design of the pipelined data acquisition system for the high-resolution ZEUS calorimeter are described. Details of the front-end analog card and its performance are presented. A description of the custom pipeline and buffer multiplexer chips is given, along with test results for the pipeline chip. In addition, some results are presented for a CCD (charge-coupled device) test system built to evaluate the pipeline principles using the ZEUS calorimeter prototype at the CERN PS
