Scientific paper

A controller for operating Thomson-CSF CCDs in a 2 x N mosaic is described. It is designed around a monolithic Digital Signal Processor, a bank of digital-to-analog converters for clock generation, a simple video processor, and a fiber-optic serial data link communicating with an instrument control computer. The controller is compact, low power, low cost, fast, and easily programmable to generate waveforms of arbitrary timing whose voltages are also software controlled. Up to 16 CCDs can be efficiently controlled, and each CCD has its own set of clock drivers and a video processor, allowing customization of the readout of each CCD device.
