Scientific paper

The MAGIC Telescope will use FADCs to sample the camera pixel signals. This allows to analyze features of the Cherenkov time pulses with ~1 ns resolution and to minimize data taking deadtime and noise. Here we report on the first tests of a 300 MHz FADC 32-channel unit and on some special solutions for enlarging the signal's dynamical range. In the long run MAGIC will be provided with >1 GHz FADCs in order to profit from the full speed capabilities of the PMs in use [1 ns FWHM]. .
