Scalable Skipper-CCD Analog Readout Electronics (SSCARE) for the Massive Multichannel OSCURA Experiment

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2008058· OSTI ID:2008058
We present a multiplexed analog readout electronics system for Skipper-CCDs based on the MIDNA ASIC. It allows for subelectron noise-level operation while maintaining a minimal number of acquisition channels. In addition, it requires low-disk storage and low-bandwidth data transfer with zero added multiplexing time during the simultaneous operation of thousands of channels. We describe the implementation of such a system in a new instrument composed by 16 sensors operated with a two-stage analog multiplexed readout scheme. The instrument is a part of the R&D effort of the OSCURA experiment.
