R5560 - 128 Channel 14-bit @125 MS/s Digitizer

New frontier physics applications are nowadays looking for readout electronics with high channels density, combining both flexibility and easy-scalability.
The R5560 programmable platform is our answer to this demand. We provide a 128-channel rack-mountable Digitizer suitable for large experiments, hosting onboard an Open FPGA with block-diagram-based programming tool, called the
SCI-Compiler.

 
 
A use case

Being designed for the readout of 3He tubes detectors, the R5560 is an ideal solution for neutron source facilities and nuclear safety institutions. Thanks to its firmware/software features, it is possible to perform position reconstruction as well as energy and ToF spectra acquisition, fitting with the typical requests of experimental setups at neutron spallation source facilities.
The open FPGA in combination with SCI-Compiler software, allow the user to easily modify the signal processing algorithm to match the requirements of many other applications such as the readout of large detector arrays and the interface with an existing facility framework

 
Boost your firmware development

SCI(entific) Compiler is a Windows based software designed to accelerate the firmware implementation for signal processing and is ideal to generate custom algorithms for scientific applications. SCI-Compiler is an automatic code generator that, starting from a graphical block diagram, generates a VHDL peace of code that implements the required function. Moreover, SCI-Compiler is able to generate C libraries and drivers to be used in Windows, Linux and macOS for software implementation.


 

Rack Mountable Power Supply Family

Welcome the new CAEN power Supply Family providing 2,4,8 or 16 independent High Voltage channels in a 2U, 19" Rack-Mountable unit.

All units can be controlled either locally, thanks to a 2.8” touchscreen color LCD display with a complete user interface, or remotely, via USB or Ethernet, thanks to the GECO2020 Control software. EPICS and LabVIEW are supported too.
