A multi-channel data processing and acquisition system based on an analog ASIC (SFERA) has been designed and realized. The platform, called Kerberos, is suitable for the readout of large arrays of Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for X-ray, γ-ray and electron spectroscopy applications. Each one of its 48 inputs is equipped with a 9th order semi-Gaussian shaping amplifier with programmable peaking time (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 ). The pulse amplitudes are multiplexed into three 16-bit high linearity SAR ADCs and digitized into an Artix-7 FPGA module. Kerberos will be used for the characterization of monolithic SDD matrices for the TRISTAN project. Many different readout strategies can be selected on Kerberos Graphic User Interface: for TRISTAN it has been decided to use a full detector readout strategy, with maximum input throughput of about 166 kcount/s. This work presents a full characterization of this scalable platform and its use with several detectors types (SDD, micro-strips) in X-ray, gamma and beta spectroscopy.

Typically, multi-single-element photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) systems utilize numerous ultrasound transducers arranged in cylindrical or hemispherical configurations for detection, combined with a single diffuse light source or multiple sparse light sources to illuminate the imaging target. While these systems produce high-quality 3D PA images, they require complex, multi-channel data acquisition (DAQ) systems to acquire data from all transducers. These DAQ systems are often bulky and expensive, significantly limiting the clinical translation of PACT systems for patient care. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using a compact and cost-effective Texas Instruments analog front-end DAQ module for multi-single-element PACT systems. By imaging a simple 3D phantom, we demonstrated the capability of this affordable DAQ board, with reconstructed images showing promise for practical and economical solutions in PACT systems. This advancement paves the way for broader applications of PACT in both research and clinical settings.
