Abstract :
A proposal for a new system to capture signals in the optical module (OM) of an underwater neutrino telescope is described. It concentrates on the problem of power consumption and the time precision. In particular, a solution for the interface between the photomultiplier (PMT) and the front-end electronics is presented.
