  abstract = {{ANTARES} is a high-energy neutrino telescope installed in the {M}editerranean {S}ea at a depth of 2475 m. {I}t consists of a three-dimensional array of optical modules, each containing a large photomultiplier tube. {A} total of 2700 front-end {ASIC}s named analogue ring samplers ({ARS}) process the phototube signals, measure their arrival time, amplitude and shape as well as perform monitoring and calibration tasks. {T}he {ARS} chip processes the analogue signals from the optical modules and converts information into digital data. {A}ll the information is transmitted to shore through further multiplexing electronics and an optical link. {T}his paper describes the performance of the {ARS} chip: results from the functionality and characterization tests in the laboratory are summarized and the long-term performance in the apparatus is illustrated.},
