Why serial powering? or Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
Powerconsumption • Every ATLAS - pixel module needs: • 2 supply voltages: 6 power linesper module • 1 HV bias connection • 3 ground lines Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
cable costs cable size cable mass Cable Total distance: 152 m Maximum voltage drop: 6.5 V Optimum: No cables at all Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
Parallel Powering • For a stave of 13 modules: • power + sense lines: 104 • supply voltage: 2 V / 1,7 V • supply current: 26 A • power consumption: 47 W • + voltage drop: 226 W Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
26 V VDD readout VDDA 24 V 24 V readout 20 V shuntregulator linear regulator 2 V readout 0 V Alternative: Serial Powering • For a stave of 13 modules: • power + sense lines: 2 • supply voltage: 26 V • supply current: 2 A • power consumption: 52 W • + voltage drop: 65 W Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
Pros and Consof both concepts Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
Shunt regulators • 10 shunt regulators built with commercial ICs • All of them operated in series • 2 modified to work with the required voltage • water cooled Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn

Summary • Serial Powering of pixel detectors seems to be possible: • Feasibilityof serial powering proven with external regulators • Regulators implemented into the new radiation hard FE-chips • Internal regulators tested on single chips and modules • electrical performance very similar hope that the differences in noise disappear with new version of regulators • Next steps: • Using several modules in a series • Measuring the performance of the modules depending on different situations • Testing possible failure scenarios Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
14 V 16 V 2 V 4 V 6 V 8 V 10 V 12 V 14 V 16 V 2 V 4 V 6 V 8 V 10 V 12 V „On Module“ – Serial Powering • On each side of a module the FE-chips are connected in series Current consumption goes down by a factor of 8 with an 8-times higher voltage • Opposite FE-chips are on the same DC-potential Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
„On Module“ – Serial Powering • Implementation: • AC-couplingbetween FE-chips and MCC necessary • Special sensor designnecessary • Disadvantage: • More complicated module design • Advantages: • low current consumption • no risk of loosing a chain of modules • individual module operation like in parallel powering Tobias Stockmanns, Universität Bonn
