Abstract

Skipper CCDs offer sub-electron readout noise by repetitive non-destructive measurements of signal interleaved with baseline measurements at a high enough frequency to reduce impact of 1/f noise when the average baseline is subtracted from average signal. We describe the design of a Multichannel Video Processor (MVP) board that supports 128 differential video channels of the new Skipper CCD from STA,inc. It is compact enough to be located close to the detector and narrow enough to allow detector mosaics to be supported.
