3. CARDIAC meeting – 30 Sept 05 giulietto.felici@lnf.infn.it 3 ASDQ++ A brief history (I) Nightmare  first two chambers prototypes test  fee instability  cable layout/orientation sensitivity ASDQ++ PCB rel. 2  small improvement on the instability side  still problems with cabling Buffer board & FC connections  fully stable fee behavior  no dependency on cable layout - Some capacitors for supply voltage decoupling - inner layers for GND/V+/V-

CARDIAC meeting – 30 Sept 05 giulietto.felici@lnf.infn.it 4 ASDQ++ A brief history (II) Programmable current sink ASDQ output stage  standard current set : 3 mA (300 mV/100 )  current set for driver board : 1 mA (300 mV/300 ) R=300  SPB ASDQ++ Ground connection Faraday cage HV 1 M  680 nF Faraday Cage sensitive path Cathode pads readout LVDS

CARDIAC meeting – 30 Sept 05 giulietto.felici@lnf.infn.it 5 ASDQ++ A brief history (III) Pads X-talk  charge injection in pads belonging to the same pad wire  charge injection in contiguous pad wires HV Signal on this wire pad Signal injection charge injection in pads belonging to the same pad wire  poor ground connection (capacitor-GND) charge injection in contiguous pad wires  nose ground not enough  a resistor in the grounding path mitigates the problem and help with HV & pickup noise Z GND < Z Wire Pads HV nose

13. CARDIAC meeting – 30 Sept 05 giulietto.felici@lnf.infn.it 13 CARDIAC threshold scan M3R3 – M5R3 – M5R4  M3R3 100 Hz @ 4.4 fC (working threshold = 5 fC)  M5R3 100 Hz @ 6.4 fC (working threshold = 5 fC)  M5R4 100 Hz @ 8.2 fC (working threshold = 10 fC) HV ON

14. CARDIAC meeting – 30 Sept 05 giulietto.felici@lnf.infn.it 14 Grounding Detector grounding scheme  No current through the reference GND  Reference GND = Safety GND  3 A fuses on the LV distribution system  1 mA max current on the HV lines  Low step up current in case of failure  No current through the reference GND  Reference GND = Safety GND  3 A fuses on the LV distribution system  1 mA max current on the HV lines  Low step up current in case of failure system reference ground safety ground

15. CARDIAC meeting – 30 Sept 05 giulietto.felici@lnf.infn.it 15 System qualification Skew measurements  M4(M5)R3  To verify front-end behavior threshold scan should be executed WITHOUT HV ON (HV is a source of external noise and can be filtered out), anyway FEE work fine with the 3 instrumented chambers  No instability due to cable layout or external source has been detected  HV filters are OK with the HV PS we have used in our test, but that PS is not the final one !  LV boards and LV distribution are OK (~10 mV drop for M3R3 regions and ~20 mV for M4R4 regions)  The detector grounding scheme has already been (successfully) reviewed  The 3 instrumented chambers work fine (NB : M5R3 is not instrumented with the final FC)  I2C access can trigger CARDIAC output spurious pulses ONLY during CARDIAC access According to our tests CARDIAC work fine when used to instrument M3R3, M5R3 and M5R4 chambers
