摘要：

In this paper we present the Front End Electronics for the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of the ALICE experiment The system, which consists of about 570000 channels, is based on two basic units: (a) an analogue ASIC (PASA) that incorporates the shaping-amplifier circuits for 16 channels; (b) a mixed-signal ASIC (ALTRO) that integrates 16 channels, each consisting of a 10-bit 25-MSPS ADC, the baseline subtraction, tail cancellation filter, zero suppression and multi-event buffer. The complete readout chain is contained in Front End Cards (FEC), with 128 channels each, connected to the detector by means of capton cables. A number of FECs (up to 25) are controlled by a Readout Control Unit (RCU), which interfaces the FECs to the Data Acquisition (DAQ), the Trigger, and the Detector Control System (DCS). A fraction of the final electronics (1024 channels) has been characterized in a test that incorporates a protonpe of the ALICE TPC as well as many other components of the final set-up. The tests show that the system meets all design requirements. Originally conceived and optimized for the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of the ALICE experiment, its architecture and programmability make this System suitable for the readout of a wider class of detectors.
