Abstract
A front-end readout electronics of new design is described. This elect ronics can operate in cosmic ray and extended air showers (EAS) as wel l as in accelerator experiments. The T&T (tracking and timing) electro nics has been planned to cover large area detectors avoiding the neces sity of tedious and time consuming cable calibrations. It is character ized by a 2 ns time resolution, multihits recording capability, no amb iguity in event-pulse reconstruction, daisy-chain interconnection, low power consumption and low cost.
