Abstract
Icarus is the largest imaging LAr TPC ever operated. During LNGS run on the CNGS neutrino beam, from 2010 to 2013, Icarus produced some thousands neutrino events of unprecedented quality. This was possible thanks to precision and stability of mechanics, liquid argon purity and high S/N of electronics. In this poster the last issue (electronics and DAC) will be presented in detail. Presently Icarus T600, in view of its operation at FNAL on the SBN neutrino beam, is undergoing major overhauling that implies cathode mechanics improvement, additional PMTs installation and a new electronics front-end and DAC. This new electronics is integrated onto the flange proprietary design, with a new front-end that improves S/N and induction signals treatment. Also this issue will be presented in detail together with data recently recorder at CERN in the Icarino, 50 litres, LAr facility.
