Home Digitizer Families Digitizers 2.0 – Open FPGA

This is CAEN’s new family of modern digitizers, designed to enhance all the features of the current line-up while introducing new capabilities that significantly broaden their application range.
These digitizers combine a common firmware architecture with a new wave recording software offering enhanced functionalities, together with the OpenFPGA feature.

A further key advantage is the integration of a Linux-based embedded ARM processor, which allows a lightweight operating system to run directly on board. This makes it possible to automate specific functions locally, without the need for a dedicated DAQ PC permanently connected to the digitizer.

Overall, CAEN OpenFPGA Digitizers integrate programmable OpenFPGA, an embedded ARM processor, and major architectural upgrades, delivering improved performance and flexibility.

Larger acquisition memory buffer size: from SSRAM to DDR4
Faster data readout through 1/10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.0
More resources for DPP algorithms and support for Programmable Open FPGA
Easier multi-board synchronization (clock and timing distribution)
