Conference ·
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;

In this paper, the architecture of the Clas12 Micromegas vertex tracker readout is described and the details of its implementation are given. The innovations allowing to meet the challenging requirements of the tracker operation are presented. The system performance is evaluated based on detector tests with a cosmic rays trigger and on standalone high rate validation tests. Finally, the perspectives to adapt the readout system or a part of it to other experiments are discussed.
