Abstract

A low noise, high speed board designed for drift chamber signals processing has been developed. The Front End electronics is a multistage amplifier based on high performance commercial devices. In addition, a fast readout algorithm for Cluster Counting and Timing purposes has been implemented on a Xilinx-Virtex 4 core FPGA. The algorithm analyzes and stores data coming from a Helium based drift cell and represents the outcome of balancing between efficiency and high speed performance.
