LISA  (Laboratory of Imaging and Sensors for Astronomy) is an IAC infrastructure for the characterization, integration and realization of developments related to sensors and cameras for use in telescopes. LISA is conceived as a sub-service with its own entity within the common service that constitutes the Department of Electronics, in turn one of the blocks or area of specialization that make up the Technology Division the IAC. Since 2007 it has been growing gradually, expanding its features to very different types of sensors, both in the visible and infrared ranges. LISA supports both internal IAC instrumentation projects and collaborations with other astrophysics institutions (and companies) upon request. To maintain its competitiveness, LISA needs to modernize a fundamental aspect of its facilities: the hardware that controls two fundamental types of detectors in astronomy: the visible and infrared ranges, dominated by CMOS and CCD technologies (+ EMCCD and hybrid technologies in the SWIR range and MWIR). The existence of modern configurable COTS modules allow the design, implementation and characterization of the new detectors available on the market. Controller systems that have been used until today have become obsolete, and the renewal of such equipment seems essential.
