This paper presents a waveform digitizer for PandaX dark matter experiments, with support for both external-trigger and triggerless readouts. It features an 8-channel VME board with a sampling rate of 500 MS/s and 14-bit resolution per channel. The digitizer system, consisting of 72 channels, has been successfully tested in situ for the PandaX-4T experiment.
Waveform digitizers are key readout instruments in particle physics experiments. In this paper, we present a waveform digitizer for the PandaX dark matter experiments. It supports both external-trigger readout and triggerless readout, accommodating the needs of low rate fullwaveform readout and channel-independent low threshold acquisition, respectively. This digitizer is a 8-channel VME board with a sampling rate of 500 MS/s and 14-bit resolution for each channel. A digitizer system consisting of 72 channels has been tested in situ of the PandaX-4T experiment. We report the system performance with real data.
