The WaveDAQ is a newly-designed digitization Trigger and Data AcQuisition system (TDAQ) allowing Multi-gigasample waveform recording on a large amount of channels (up to 16384) by using the DRS4 analog switched capacitor array as downconverting ASIC. A high bandwidth, programmable input stage has been coupled with a bias generator to allow SiPM operation without need of any other external apparatus. The trigger generation is tightly coupled within the system to limit the required depth of the analog memory, allowing faster digitization speeds. This system has been designed for the MEG experiment upgrade but also proved to be highly scalable and already found other applications.
