Sumario:To be published in the proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Electronics for the LHC Experiments, Rome, Italy, 21-25 September 1998.<P>The front-end electronics for the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) for the ALICE Experiment consists of 5x10<SUB>5</SUB> channels. A single readout channel is comprised of three basic units: a charge sensitive amplifier/shaper with a fast tail cancellation; a 10 bit 10 MSPS low power ADC; a digital ASIC which contains the zero suppression circuit and a multiple-event buffer. Data from a number of channels (4096) are multiplexed into an optical link (DDL) by means of a local custom bus which can support a data throughput of 2MByte/event at a trigger rate of 50Hz. The construction of a prototype of these electronics is presented in this paper.
