SIS8300-KU MTCA.4 Digitizer

10 Channel 125 MS/s 16-bit With Fast Feedback DACs

Based on the SIS8300 which was developed in co-operation with DESY under ZIM Förderkennzeichen 2460101MS9

The SIS8300-KU is the Kintex Ultrascale based follow up to the SIS8300-L2 MTCA.4 digitizer card. One of the development goals was giving firmware developers the freedom the use the Xilinx Vivado development tool chain.

Sub Nanosecond timing synchronization is available with the White Rabbit (WR) option. Information on White Rabbit can be found on the CERN OHWR White Rabbit page

The SIS8300-KU ships with ready to run firmware as well as Xilinx Vivado projects, which allow you to adapt the existing firmware to your requirements. More information can be found on the SIS8300-KU firmware page. The ready to run firmware is augmented by a CERN ROOT GUI with all underlying code made available in source. You can either modify the ROOT GUI to match your application or use the source code as a starting point for your own implementation.
