  The FERS-5200 is the new CAEN Front-End Readout System for large detector
arrays. It consists in a compact, distributed and easy-deployable solution
integrating front-end based on ASICs, A/D conversion, data processing,
synchronization and readout. Using the appropriate Front-End the solution
perfectly fits a wide range of detectors such as SiPMs, multianode PMTs, GEMs,
Silicon Strip detectors, Wire Chambers, Gas Tubes, etc. The first member of the
FERS family is the unit A5202, a 64 channel readout card for SiPMs, based on
the CITIROC ASIC by Weeroc SaS. The Concentrator board DT5215 can manage the
readout of up to 128 cards at once, that is 8192 readout channels in case of
the A5202.
