Abstract

The Front-End electronics of the Detector of Internally Reflected Cerenkov light (DIRC) for the BaBar experiment is presented. Its aim is to measure to better than ns the arrival time of Cerenkov photoelectrons, detected in a 11,000 phototubes array and their amplitude spectra. It mainly comprises 64-channel DIRC Front-End Boards (DFB) equipped with eight full-custom Analog Chips performing zero-cross discrimination with 2 mV threshold and pulse shaping, four full-custom Digital TDC chips for timing measurements with 500 ps binning and a readout logic selecting hits in the trigger window, and DIRC Crate Controller cards (DCC) serializing the data collected from up to 16 DFBs onto a 1.2 Gb/s optical link. Extensive test results of the pre-production chips will be presented, as well as system tests
