Description
The FERS-5200 is the new CAEN Front-End Readout System, which is a cost effective, scalable and distributed
front-end & data acquisition system for large detector arrays. It consists in a compact and easy-deployable
solution integrating front-ends based on ASICs, A/D conversion, data processing, synchronization and readout.
Using the appropriate ASIC the solution perfectly fits a wide range of detectors such as SiPMs, multianode
PMTs, Silicon Strip detectors, Wire Chambers, Gas Tubes, etc. The first member of the FERS family is the
unit A5202, a 64 channel readout card for SiPMs, based on the Citiroc (Weeroc) ASIC chips. Each concentrator
board A5215 manages up to 128 A5202 cards, that is 8192 readout channels.
