Scientific paper

The front-end electronics design for the Dark Energy Survey Camera (DECam) is based on the MONSOON Image Acquisition System that was developed by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO). MONSOON systems are currently being used to test and characterize CCDs. The Dark Energy Survey group both in the U.S. and Spain will produce custom versions of these systems for use in the production readout that will better match the requirements of a large focal plane of 70+ CCDs and the tight space constraints of a prime focus instrument. The customization of the MONSOON boards and the electronics path will be presented.
