The electronic readout architecture for the silicon pixel detector of the PANDA Micro Vertex Detector is presented. The pixels will provide occurrence time, position and energy information; moreover, no trigger signal is foreseen, thus leading to a huge amount of data to be transmitted. The foreseen readout system is based on a custom ASIC development, named ToPix, which provides time information via a time stamp synchronous with the 155.5MHz global clock signal and energy information via the Time Over Threshold technique. High speed serial links and early electrical to optical conversion are adopted to reduce the amount of cables and material.
