The CAEN Mod.DT5550W is a development and DAQ platform with programmable FPGA designed to read out Weeroc ASICs. The DT5550W can be used either as evaluation system for WeeROC ASICs, either as full featured Acquisition System supporting a wide range of SiPM detectors.
The full system is composed by two boards: a motherboard with an FPGA, USB 3.0 connectivity, power supply and ADCs, and a replaceable piggyback board that hosts 1,2 or 4 WeeROC ASICs, detector connectors and SiPM bias power supply.
A default firmware is provided for each supported piggyback board, allowing the user to read-out the ASICs and perform energy and time measurements with the supported detectors.
The DT5550W is compatible with SCI-Compiler, a graphic tool for Windows which allows the user to realize a custom readout logic for the available ASICs. This tool allows to generate the VHDL firmware code starting only from graphical blocks which can be connected together in the GUI, thus reducing the development time also for non-expert firmware designers.

Piggyback Board
CAEN piggyback boards offer to the user the possibility to read out up to 128 SiPM detectors or two 64-channels SiPM matrices. The piggyback is equipped with CAEN A7585D HV module to bias all connected SiPMs. Up to 2 Hamamatsu matrices (S13361-3050AE-08 64 channels model) can be connected directly on the piggyback board, with the possibility to use an external adapter for any kind of matrix or array interfacing.
Developed in collaboration with Nuclear Instruments.
