The activity carried out by the researchers of the Sezione di Milano relates to the development of the FARCOS frontend electronics. In particular we focused on the following items:
FARCOS CsI scintillators frontend: based on a VLSI charge preamplifier
FARCOS DSSSD frontend: based on a 16-channel VLSI charge preamplifier chip designed on purpose with the dynamic range up to 500 MeV (at 1% INL) and an energy resolution below 10 keV FWHM.
FARCOS slow control: responsible of the ASIC configuration and of the house keeping
FARCOS interconnections
