Digitizer
743 Family
The 743 is the Switched Capacitor Digitizer family, based on the SAMLONG chip and developed in collaboration with CEA/IRFU, with a good compromise between high sampling frequency (3.2GS/s) and channel density. It can record very fast signals from scintillators coupled to PMTs, Silicon Photomultipliers, APD, Diamond detectors and others, and save them with high efficiency and precision for advanced timing analysis.

Digitizer
730S Family
The 730S family is a digitizer capable of recording waveforms along with performing advanced algorithms for online digital pulse processing (DPP). Utilizing DPP Firmware, users can acquire quantitative physical parameters (Integrated Charge, Pulse Shape Discrimination with very fine time resolution, Pulse Height Analysis) as well as read out waveforms with automatic pulse identification and baseline suppression on channel basis (Zero-Length Encoding and Dynamic Acquisition Window). The wide range of DPP algorithms supported by the 730S family make it a “must-have” for any type of nuclear physics application.

Digitizers
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.

720 Family
The 720 is a family of CAEN Waveform Digitizer able to perform basic waveform recording and run online advanced algorithms (DPP) of charge integration and pulse shape discrimination. Data is read by a Flash ADC, 12-bit resolution and 250 MS/s sampling rate, which is well suited for mid-fast signals as the ones coming from liquid or inorganic scintillators coupled to PMTs or Silicon Photomultipliers. In the waveform recording mode, algorithms of zero suppression are also implemented to reduce the data throughput.
