LSST Electronics Review – BNL, January LSST Electronics Review BNL January Electronics Development Plan Goals and Plans for R. Van Berg Electronics Mini-Review January 26 th, 2012

LSST Electronics Review – BNL, January Outline – VST Goals and Plans for Phase I –Analog performance –Digital performance –CCD drive/read performance Phase II –Analog performance –Digital performance –CCD drive/read performance –Environmental and contamination performance –Mechanical compatibility –Process development Phase III –Preproduction version –Full performance and compatibility check –Process finalization –Last chance to find problems before production

LSST Electronics Review – BNL, January Phase I – Analog Performance Noise –Inherent noise from ASPIC – DiffAmp – ADC chain –System noise from power (PSRR, inductive pickup, capacitive pickup, ….) –System noise from clock drive (SCC version) –Variations during a scan line Crosstalk –Geographic pickup (nearest neighbor channels FEB or BEB) –Time dependent (charge soak, insufficient clear time, ….) Dynamic range –17 Bits of ADC (or should we offset to get 18?) –90,000 e full well (or a lot more??) –2 bits of noise digitization Timing dependencies –Integration time –Reset / clear times –Etc. Note – all these lists are incomplete…
