Abstract
A Hadron Blind Detector (HBD) has been installed in the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). A 2300 channel compact 12-bit 60 MHz digitizer system has been built to read the HBD system. The raw signals are shaped with 70 ns rise time and are directly digitized. The time and charge of the raw signals can be calculated from the multiple samples. The system is designed to handle Level 1 (L1) trigger rates up to 25 KHz with 5 L1 event buffers. Large amounts of data are generated after the ADC. Issues regarding clock distribution, data handling, event buffers, and L1 trigger primitive generations have been addressed. The overall system performance will also be discussed.
