The GALILEO telescope requires a flexible detector controller that allows one to drive single and mosaic CCDs in different modes of operation. The CCD controller can be divided into two main parts: the preamplifier, located close to the cryostat and the other modules, the Sequencer, the Bias generator, the Clock driver, the Preamplifier and the Correlated double sampler, located into a rack and connected together via a CCDC-BUS.
