Abstract :
In view of performing time measurements via digital pulse shape acquisition, we have designed, built and tested a simple VME-board, able to virtually increase up to 1.6 GHz the sampling frequency of a 100 MHz analog to digital converter, without affecting its resolution. Particular care has been devoted to the codes necessary for managing the data and for the pulse height and time calibration of the board-SADC ensemble
