SIS8300 µTCA for Physics Digitizer

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

Development in co-operation with DESY under ZIM Förderkennzeichen 2460101MS9

The SIS8300 is a MTCA.4 (µTCA for Physics) digitizer card. High speed readout is implemented via a Virtex-5 FPGA based four lane PCI Express lane implementation.

Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) for different applications have been developed by different institutes and companies.

An overview can be found in the PDF of the 2011 Valencia NSS xTCA Workshop also.
