Resumen:
This work aims to describe the design and implementation of an embedded
system that provides control and monitoring to particle detectors based
on multi-anode Photomultiplier tubes (PMT). The embedded system uses a
microcontroller with an uCLinux operative system and Ethernet interface.
The front-end, used to digitalize the PMT signals, consists of
discriminators (one per PMT channel), a FPGA, and a memory bank. The
electronics has a low power design to allow its usage in detectors using
solar power. The development and performance verification of this
system is also shown.
