We present a silicon drift detector (SDD) system for the spectroscopy focusing array (SFA) of the enhanced X-ray timing and polarimetry (eXTP) mission. The SFA focuses on fast timing (time resolution below 10 μs) and good spectroscopy capabilities (energy resolution better than 180 eV @ 6 keV). The sensor, consisting of 19 hexagonally shaped pixels with a total sensitive area of 5.05 cm2, is connected to three high time resolution spectroscopy (HTRS) ASICs, allowing a fast readout of the detector signals. The detector works in a Charge-Sensitive Amplifier configuration. We assembled a prototype detector module and present here its mechanical design, describe the used sensor, and report about its performance.
