CAEN has developed a complete family of digitizers that consists of several models differing in sampling frequency, resolution, form factor (VME, NIM, Desktop, Rack) and other features.In recent years CAEN opened the doors of its R&D to the Open FPGA technology, which is becoming more and more widely used and required. In addition, we decided to invest many resources in order to make this technology accessible to everyone. These efforts result in innovative Programmable Digitizer families and the SCI-Compiler software for easy-programming of the Open FPGA simplifying firmware writing with a block-based visual programming language.For more information about the principle of operation of CAEN Digitizers check the CAEN Digitizer Whitepaper.

These digitizers combine a common firmware architecture with a new wave recording software offering enhanced functionalities, together with the OpenFPGA feature.

CAEN Standard Digitizers are platform-independent instruments featuring high-speed multichannel ADCs (up to 5 GS/s), local memory and FPGAs for real-time data processing. Available in VME, NIM and Desktop form factors, they serve a wide range of applications including Medical Imaging, Homeland Security and Environmental Monitoring.
