Description
The Electronics Division of the INFN-Bologna is mainly focused on the task of supporting high energy physics experiments in designing, producing and installing electronic systems. The Division develops electronics interfaced to several types of detector and has gained expertise in every processing stage: from the front-end through the analog-to-digital conversion up to digital data handling and acquisition. An overview of several recent projects, that the Division has been involved in, will be shown. Each system will be briefly described, highlighting both the acquired skills and the tackled issues. Moreover, the Division features several software and hardware resources which help in electronics design and testing as well. Their use in the aforementioned projects will be pointed out, drawing attention to their main capabilities and purposes.
