Description
Summary:Planned large scale trackers for high energy physics experiments mandate several qualitative changes to data acquisition systems for silicon tracking systems. A large fraction of the functionality of the DAQ system must reside on the detector, which imposes stringent constraints on size, radiation hardness, power consumption and reliability. An approach developed to address these issues for the SDC silicon tracker is outlined. There is no reference to the analogue systems; only the DAQ is described.
