  Draft   Mon Jun 29 03:18:30 2026 Jonathan BradshawInquiry about DC-coupled DRS4 hardware design schemeWe are developing a product which
uses the DRS4 with DC coupling.  It's
works, but you need to pay attention to the

of the DRS4. You can just build it and see
if it works before you connect it to the

Thank you for your reply. My previous
description was not accurate enough. We plan

that it's output goes to the negative
rail (in your case -1.5), which would destroy

Thank you so much for your detailed
and helpful reply. It’s very clear
  
  939   Fri Jun 12 08:22:30 2026 Stefan RittInquiry about DC-coupled DRS4 hardware design schemeWe do not have any DC-coupled design for
the DRS4. The reason for that is that for
many applications we use SiPMs, which are

I am writing to express my sincere
gratitude for your continued and prompt responses
  
  935   Fri Apr 17 12:39:11 2026 Stefan RittWaveform Truncation Near the Cell0-Cell1023 Boundary in DRS4 ROI Readout ModeNot much I can say here. I know that the
DRS4 works reliably, since we have an experiment
here with 500 chips running since 5 years

Thank you for your detailed response.
Following your suggestion, I used an oscilloscope

I think I understand maybe your problem.
You stop the DRS4 randomly, but your ROI

  931   Thu Mar 5 14:52:07 2026 Stefan RittWaveform Truncation Near the Cell0-Cell1023 Boundary in DRS4 ROI Readout ModeDoes this happen with your own hardware
or with the DRS4 evaluation board? If it's
your own hardware, do you read out all 1024
