Abstract
A new front-end electronics (FEE) for PHENIX Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detecto r (RICH) has been developed. It consists of custom-made Backplane, Controll er module. Readout module and AMU/ADC module, which are capable of processi ng signals from 5120 Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMTs). Several tests have been carried out, and RICH FEE was proved to satisfy the requirement of PHENIX experiment. The charge spectrum due to single photo-electron was successful ly observed as well.
