Abstract
This paper describes a VME multichannel multisampling ADC board designed fo r low-energy physics experiments. To guarantee the maximum experimental fle xibility the module is completely programmable through a digital signal pro cessor and a program register accessible via VME bus. With a frequency of 5 0 MHz, the single channel can acquire a variable number of samples of each analog input. Besides, it is possible to use the board as a 160 MHz wavefor m digitizer, grouping four channels together and feeding the same analog in puts via an external fan-out. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
