This work presents the first measurements performed on the Timespot1 ASIC. As the second prototype developed for the TimeSPOT project, the ASIC features a 32x32 channels hybrid-pixel matrix. Targeted to space-time tracking applications in High Energy Physics experiments, the system aims to achieve a time resolution of 30 ps or better at a maximum event rate of 3 MHz per channel with a Data Driven interface. Power consumption can be programmed to range between 1.2W/cm^2 and 2.6W/cm^2. The
