8 Channel NIM-ECL/ECL-NIM Translator
V538A
The Model V538 A is a 1-unit wide VME module housing 8 independent logic level translators. Each of the 8 channels accepts a NIM or ECL signal and provides two NIM and two ECL outputs (OUT 0÷7 A, B). The NIM and ECL inputs of each channel are ORed prior to fan-out.

Digitizer
740 Family
The 740 is a high channel density CAEN Waveform Digitizer family able to perform basic waveform recording and run online advanced algorithms (DPP) of charge integration. Both the elevate number of channels per board (32 for Desktop and NIM form factor, 64 for VME) and the DPP algorithm make the board a digital replacement of a traditional QDC. Data is read by a Flash ADC, 12-bit resolution and 62.5 MS/s sampling rate, which is well suited for mid-slow signals as the ones coming from inorganic scintillators coupled to PMTs, gaseous detectors and others. Sampling rate can be further reduced using the decimation feature. The acquisition can be channel independent and externally vetoed/gated. Multiple boards can be synchronized to build up complex systems.

16 Channel Multievent QDC
V792N
The Model V792N is a 1-unit wide VME 6U module housing 16 Charge-to-Digital Conversion channels with current integrating negative inputs (50 Ohm impedance). For each channel, the input charge is converted to a voltage level by a QAC (Charge to Amplitude Conversion) section. Input range is 0 ÷ 400 pC. The Model V792N features LEMO 00 connectors for both input and control signals. The outputs of the QAC sections are multiplexed and subsequently converted by two fast 12-bit ADCs.

Universal Multichannel System
Power Supply Systems are 100% internally developed and designed to install into a standard 19” relay rack. The mainframes and dedicated HV/LV boards were purposefully designed to provide peak performance in a broad spectrum of operational scenarios and for a vast number of detector types. CAEN mainframe systems are modular, making upgrade and maintenance a breeze.A single mainframe may house and provide control for up to 768 independent channels. Each mainframe may be configured with a mixture of both High Voltage boards for detector bias and Low Voltage boards to drive peripheral electronics.
