5. Hit Sequencing phi2 phi1 Init Addr Address 0 drives DataValid and DataCode to all 0s. Therefore (2^n)-1 sub- regions can be addressed. 01234560 DataValid 2 channels are hit Phi2 pulse that reaches SRAM shift register Timestamp 0x008E0x008F we1 we2 we3 Logic causes the next SRAM to also receive a write-enable signal. Not a problem: Would be overwritten with valid data or ignored in readout hold

6. Readout Sequencing phi3 phi1 readInit readEnables Row 1 [3 hits] Row 2 [0 hits] 1 2 3 First numbered readEnable is driven from outside to commence readout; all others derive from previous row =(n-1) Note possible combinational delay when passing through empty rows (n=2) 4 Cell being read

13. Questions Number of sub-sets of pixels? –6 or 7 Number of pixels in a sub-set? –6 or 7 or 8 Currently Implemented36 pixels = 1800um Control logic + SRAM = 200um Dead Area = 10 % (19 regs)

14. Question Assuming a row must be reset after a hit (real or noise)… –This reset is likely to occupy the next bunch crossing, ie lasting 150ns, during which time the N pixels in this row will be ‘blind’ to a subsequent hit (real or noise) –Is this acceptable?
