Abstract
We are developing lab-based readout electronics for Transition-edge sensors (TES)
using commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) modules. These COTS modules are advantageous since they increase development speed and keep the cost low. We have
developed these electronics to support both non-multiplexed and time-division multiplexing (TDM) readout systems. The system utilizes remote control via Ethernet,
and the interface allows many types of measurements to be automated. With the
TDM readout system, we have achieved 2.05 eV at 6 keV, 2.1 eV at 7 keV, 2.3 eV
at 8 keV, and 2.8 eV at 12 keV with 2-column×32-row multiplexing. We will be
using this system in the characterization of detectors for the X-Ray Integral Field
Unit (X-IFU) instrument on Athena. In this paper, we present an overview of the
design and their performance.
