General Electronics for TPCs (GET) is a generic, reconfigurable and comprehensive electronics and data acquisition system for nuclear physics instrumentation of up to 33792 channels. The system consists of a custom designed ASIC for signal processing, front-end cards that each house 4 ASIC chips and digitize the data in parallel through 12-bit ADCs, concentration boards to read and process the digital data from up to 16 ASICs, a 3-level trigger and master clock module to trigger the system and synchronize the data, as well as all of the associated firmware, communication and data-acquisition software. An overview of the system including its specifications and measured performances are presented. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
