Abstract	An Interface Board will be located at both ends of each Silicon Drift Detector ladder, and it has three fundamental goals. It is designed to provide the compression of the digital data stream incoming from the bank of detectors (reducing the amount of data to allow the writing on disk), the hardware implementation of the transmission protocol (managing data coming from eight half detectors to be sent onone optical fibre) and the implementation of the physical interface towards the Detector Data Link (DDL) (using the data link transmission protocol).
