Abstract
Highly integrated readout electronics were developed and produced for the 182 000 channels of the four TPCs of the NA49 heavy-ion fixed targ et experiment at the CERN SPS. The large number of channels, the high packing density and required cost minimization led to the choice of a custom electronics system. The requirements, the design and the perfor mance of the electronics components are described.
