2 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20072 Quick Summary of Noise test Results All tests use FNAL focal plane (_fnal) with a readout rate of 6uS/Pixel. Sigma count measurement could change by ~1.5 counts from day to day, however counts would remain the same for the whole day of tests. Found another earth ground connected to signal ground on Vsub supply cable. Also received some information from Peter Moore explaining the wiring scheme he uses at CTIO. –P. Moore’s information and finding the other earth ground reference required more testing to be done. Separate noise measurements were made when earth grounds were connected to supply grounds: –at the backplane – at the Vicor power supply –at both backplane and power supply. Noise measurements were made with the above grounding schemes using the Vicor power supply with the +3.3V uRAM and with a +3.3V voltage regulator.

3 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20073 Quick Summary of Noise test Results Testing with uRAM: –Sigma was ~15.5 counts when +/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply –& tied to power supply case (earth ground) +5 and +3.3 digital voltage returns tied together at the power supply –But not tied to power supply case (earth ground) –Sigma was ~8 counts when ground scheme was based on P.Moore’s recommendation +/-15 common returns tied together at the power supply +/-5 common returns tied together at the power supply +5VD, +3.3VD, & -28VA returns kept separate Backplane tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground) –Sigma was ~7.7 counts when +/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply +5 and +3.3 digital voltage returns tied together at the power supply & backplane tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground) –Sigma was ~6.40 counts when +/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply –& to power supply case (earth ground) +5 and +3.3 digital voltage returns tied together at the power supply –& to power supply case (earth ground) Backplane ground tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground)

4 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20074 Quick Summary of Noise test Results Testing with Voltage Regulator: –Sigma was ~13.5 counts when +/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply –& tied to power supply case (earth ground) +5 digital voltage return not tied to power supply case (earth ground) Backplane not tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground) –Sigma was ~7.7 counts when +/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply –But not tied to power supply case (earth ground) Backplane tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground). –Sigma was ~6.8 counts when ground scheme was based on P.Moore’s recommendation +/-15 common returns tied together at the power supply +/-5 common returns tied together at the power supply +5VD, +3.3VD, & -28VA returns kept separate Backplane tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground). –Sigma was ~6.00 counts when +/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply –& tie to power supply case (earth ground) +5 digital voltage return tied to power supply case (earth ground) Backplane tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground).

5 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20075 Quick Summary of Noise test Results Conclusion for uRAM vs Voltage Regulator: –Sigma was lowest- ~6.0 counts –Using a +3.3V, VOLTAGE REGULATOR for +3.3VD »Driven from Vicor +5VD Supply –+/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply »& tied to power supply case (earth ground) –Backplane ground tied to Monsoon chassis (earth ground) –+5 digital voltage return tied to power supply case (earth ground) ~6.45 counts –Using the uRAM for +3.3VD with same setup as with voltage regulator above except »+5 and +3.3 digital voltage returns tied together at the power supply and tied to power supply case (earth ground) –Sigma was highest- Either voltage regulator or uRAM installed –+/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns tied together at the power supply »& tied to power supply case (earth ground) –+5 and +3.3 digital voltage returns kept separate »But not tied to power supply case (earth ground) –Sigma moved around – When earth ground references was not at all 3 points –Backplane –+/-5, +/-15, and -28 analog voltage returns at the power supply –+5 and +3.3 digital voltage returns at the power supply

6 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20076 Quick Summary of Noise test Results LOWEST SIGMA CONFIGURATION –TIE ALL POWER SUPPLY RETURNS TO POWER SUPPLY CASE(EARTH GROUND) –TIE BACKPLANE GROUND TO MONSOON CHASSIS (EARTH GROUND) –USE +3.3VD VOLTAGE REGULATOR, DRIVEN FROM VICOR +5VD.

7 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20077 Noise Test Software Setup Monsoon is running Fermilab focal plane with Monsoon Command Bar on cyclone:/home/monsoon/cfg/_fnal/. Code has been added to panSaver by Tao to automatically calculate the # of pixels, pedestal voltage (mean) and Sigma. Exposure can be run in continuous loop by using Labview code written by Inga. Short runs (.5Kx2K CCD) with Labview code were used to quickly analyze modifications to test stand. Long runs (2Kx4K CCD) were then used to get a more detailed analysis of the data. Long run readout analysis in panSaver uses 1,165,026 Pixels. Readout time is at 6uS/pixel. All hardware settings are based on Monsoon Command Bar selection: Cube, Front, Normal, 6us, and with either.5kx1k or 4kx2k size ccds. Channel 0 & 2 video inputs are used for readout. Data is also analyzed for a long run using./noiselast_prepost.sh to validate accuracy of calculated result in panSaver. Data is analyzed visually using DS9 or FV4.2.

8 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 20078 Noise Test Hardware Setup All noise test were done on shielded Monsoon 6-slot DHE conforming to Fermilab specifications using Fermilab video cable and Fermilab CCD passive load terminator. Remote sensing for the power supply was removed & local sensing used. Power supply tests ran: 1.Vicor supply, using +3.3VD and uRAM Filter connected to shielded Monsoon 6-slot DHE. 2.Vicor supply without +3.3VD, instead using a +3.3v voltage regulator driven from +5V and connected to shielded Monsoon 6- slot DHE.

Another set of power supply cable analog & digital earth ground wires connected together at the Monsoon crate & at the case +48VAN is not connected, thus not used during the testing Earth Grounding & Shielding Schemes Notes

19 Todd Moore for the DES CollaborationApril 20 th, 200719 Conclusion/Next… Lowest noise was achieved: –Using a shielded DHE –Using +3.3V voltage regulator being driven from Vicor +5VD –Tying power supply analog returns together and connecting to Vicor case (earth ground) –Tying Vicor +5VD return to Vicor case (earth ground) –Tying backplane ground to Monsoon chassis (earth ground) Is the sigma low enough? –If so: Compare grounding/shielding schemes between Monsoon prototype DHE & shielded Monsoon DHE Implement changes to prototype DHE and run more tests Run more tests on modified prototype DHE: –Run 2 channels @ 4uS/Pixel –Run 1 ccd Acq. Board/8 channels @ 4uS –Run 1 ccd Acq. Board/12 channels @ 4uS –Run fully loaded DHE, 3 12 ch. CCD & 2 CBB boards/36 channels @ 4uS –Load system down with lowest Vicor configuration to see if Sigma will lower with increased current load –Implement suggestions from others to lower noise
