abstract = {The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL) is a light
source of the 4th generation which provides spatially
coherent ultrashort X-ray pulses at high rate. The facility
enabled unprecedented advancement in fundamental research,
but also needed new detectors to fit the EuXFEL
requirements, such as single photon resolution, large
dynamic range, and high repetition rate: three 2D megapixel
detectors have been developed to cope with the demanding
environment. The DEPleted Field Effect Transistors (DEPFET)
Sensor with Signal Compression (DSSC) detector is one of
them. The parallel readout from each pixel is performed
employing a dedicated Application Specific Integrated
Circuit (ASIC). The generated data flow is read through a
2-stage Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based Data
AcQuisition (DAQ) chain: the Input Output Board (IOB)
controls the primary readout from 16 ASICs and serializes
data on high-speed links that are sent to the Patch Panel
Transceiver (PPT). It is also responsible for the clock
distribution and timing control of the front-end and
switched power channels. The PPT reorders and forwards the
received data toward the EuXFEL back-end, and allows remote
control over the whole DAQ. A first DSSC camera, based on
miniaturized silicon drift detectors (mini-SDD) has been
available for users’ experiments since 2019, and a second
DEPFET-based camera is under construction. The IOB firmware
has been thoroughly reviewed and modified to cope with the
new DEPFET sensors’ physics and to improve the performance
of both the mini-SDD and DEPFET versions. We present an
overview of the DSSC, focusing on the DAQ, highlighting the
main properties of the environment where the detector
operates. We assess the firmware improvements introduced,
with a particular focus on the IOB, and present the results
obtained in comparison to the original firmware.},
