NEDA Front-End Electronics

Basis:

•Digital Electronics to benefit from the full pipelined modes of AGATA and EXOGAM2 •Decided to use a common platform with EXOGAM2 development to benefit from synergies.•EXOGAM2 carrier + NEDA mezzanine Digitizer•Require full data transfer if complex discrimination algorithms and timing are used (Optical link). Is optional in the EXOGAM2 design.•Urgent to define the specifications of the Digitizer Module to match the EXOGAM2 design and firmware (as close as possible)
