From the project
OpenDAQ-AFE is an open-source, production-grade mixed-signal data acquisition (DAQ) and detector front-end architecture. Designed for high-energy physics instrumentation, this system bridges microscopic sensor physics to real-time digital signal processing.
OpenDAQ-AFE is an open-source, production-grade mixed-signal data acquisition (DAQ) and detector front-end architecture. Designed for high-energy physics instrumentation, this system bridges microscopic sensor physics to real-time digital signal processing.
It takes a sub-nanosecond, femtocoulomb-level current pulse generated by a particle hit on a semiconductor sensor, processes it through an ultra-low noise analog front-end (AFE), and digitizes the signal via a high-speed path.
