Abstract

HiZ-GUNDAM is a candidate satellite mission for JAXA to promote time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy as the main targets of gamma-ray bursts. As the mission payload, one of the module of the wide field X-ray monitors consist of a lobster eye optics array and a focal imaging sensor. The field of view of the monitor covers ∼ 0.7 steradian of the sky in the soft X-ray band (0.4 − 4 keV). As the X-ray detector, the pnCCD detector fabricated by PNSensor Inc. can achieve our mission requirements. And we are developing an FPGA-based electronic system for the pnCCD.Our bread-board model of the electronic system consists of (1) a FPGA board, (2) an ADC and power supply board, (3) a pnCCD mounting board, and (4) a 96 × 192-pixel pnCCD read out by 4 CAMEX analog front-end ASICs. We have driven the front-end electronics of the pnCCD successfully by sending the test pulse. In this paper, we report the development status of our FPGA-based electronic system to control the pnCCD sensor.
