6. MS IPHC - LBL phone meeting, May 5, 2011 6 6 LU and SEU at 88” cyclotron Status: – No progress in measurements since our last report (Nov. 29) – SEU monitoring firmware in a validation phase – No beam time scheduled; we expect to be on-call for beam availability – Integration of Ultimate into the upcoming set of tests http://rnc.lbl.gov/hft/hardware/docs/latchup/latchup_for_IPHC_LBL_phone_meeting.ppt

7. MS IPHC - LBL phone meeting, May 5, 2011 7 7 Test integration with IPHC During my visit at IPHC in February/March, Guy and I agreed on the interface between his memory test PCB and our setup: – Mounting holes (compatible with the existing fixture) – cable connectors (compatible with our setup) The test PCB will easily interface to our Xilinx FPGA board for SEU and LU monitoring

8. MS IPHC - LBL phone meeting, May 5, 2011 8 8 Test plans LU tests for Mimosa26 with 20 µm epi SEU tests for both Mimosa 26 chips (15 and 20 µm epi ) SEU for all ladder/MTB components SEU and LU for Ultimate Memory test structures from IPHC (if available) Time frame – undetermined at this time – Beam time at the cyclotron appears fully booked until January 2012 (some openings might become available)
