1 AIDA design review Davide Braga Steve Thomas ASIC Design Group 9 June 2009

2 AIDA design review2 Basic functionality tested DACs and shift register work Internal timing works System noisy but it is possible to average many measure to increase precision Example of timing testing

3 9 June 2009AIDA design review3 Timing’s functionality Preamplifier’s reset: different colours for different timings (this simulation was not set up properly, but the drift which follows the reset was useful to measure the functionality of the programmable timing on the reset) 0 1 2 4 8 16

4 9 June 2009AIDA design review4 Preamp & PeakHold linearity Preamplifier’s and Peak Hold’s linearity <1% (possibly lower: precision of measurement limited) 0 1 2 4 8 16

5 9 June 2009AIDA design review5 Discriminator discriminator output (blue line): fast rise time <2ns 0 1 2 4 8 16

6 9 June 2009AIDA design review6 Reset sequence (1) 0 1 2 4 8 16 input signal analog output (preamp) “data ready” peak hold Medium energy double implant (in yellow): the reset sequence works correctly for the L/M energy channel, the data ready signal becomes active and everything is reset within microseconds

7 9 June 2009AIDA design review7 Reset sequence (2) 0 1 2 4 8 16 input signal analog output (preamp) “data ready” peak hold A full recovery can be achieved when the two signals are 10us apart. However, this time is mainly due to the number of clock cycles it takes to run the reset sequence

8 9 June 2009AIDA design review8 Reset sequence (3) 0 1 2 4 8 16 analog output (preamp) “data ready” peak hold If the clock frequency is doubled (2Mhz) the reset time is reduced to 3.7 us

9 9 June 2009AIDA design review9 High followed by medium energy implant 0 1 2 4 8 16 input signal analog output (preamp) “data ready” high energy range Recovery achieved in 15us

10 9 June 2009AIDA design review10 Detector bias network 0 1 2 4 8 16 To model the recovery current through the detector’s bias network the input pulse recovers to the baseline with a slow ramp (~=100ms) T=165ms

11 9 June 2009AIDA design review11 Detector bias current 0 1 2 4 8 16 input signal analog output (preamp) “data ready” high energy range preamplifier drifts to saturation during the input signal’s slow return to baseline under investigation…
