Abstract :
A new modular multichannel front-end time to digital electronics is described. The T&T (tracking and timing) electronics is characterised by a 2 ns time resolution with multihits recording capability, no ambiguity in event pulse reconstruction, low power consumption and daisy-chain interconnecting capability. The simple design and the low cost per channel make it preferable for use in cosmic rays and EAS as well as in accelerator experiments. A description of the environmental operation and tests of the T&T electronics is presented. This electronics is used in an EAS experiment in Leeds (UK) called COVER/PLASTEX. Results on the T&T electronic performances in this experiment are also presented.
