Design Improvements and First results for the Revision 3 of AARDVARC Waveform Sampling System On Chip

In this article we describe the design and preliminary measurement results on a new revision “rev3” of the Advanced ASoC Rapid Digitizer, Variable Readout Chip (AARDVARC). AARDVARC is a multi-channel waveform digitizing and processing Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) front-end. We will report on diverse improvements from the previous design and confirm various performance metrics.
