FPD LAYOUT • 18 Roman pots with scintillating fiber detectors. • Each detector with 6 fiber planes and 1 scintillation counter. • 112 channels per detector readout with 7 MAPMT’s.
TRIGGER ELECTRONICS Trigger electronics requirements • 3 AFE boards to read out vertical spectrometers and dipoles • 2 AFE boards to read out horizontal spectrometers • 1 Sequencer , 1 VRB, 3 DFE’s
Transition Patch Panel (TPP): Interface to AFE. • - Decouples tunnel and Platform grounds. • – Shapes FPD signals to operate within dynamic range of AFE. • FPD SEQUENCER : • FPD signals delayed by long TOF and cables. FPD sequencer delays AFE controls. • Sequencer can handle only two delays. Third delay will be produced in AFE firmware.
FPD Noise at Input of AFE mean rms
NOISE ON TPP DIPOLE BOARD Noise pattern is the same in every svx 30 30 35 12 12
FPD noise pattern on AFE is due to TPP layout • Location of GNDA layer is the cause for getting noise on AFE. TPP layer design: One channel basic circuit:
FPD STATUS • Two AFE boards connected right now. One for reading out dipole detectors. Second one has been used for debugging noise issues with TPP board. • We have found the solution for noise issues. We are working on getting new boards made to resolve this problem. • Taking data with 45gapN trigger. Few special runs with trigger using own FPD aot’s to TFW. • Also working on testing DFE at CTS test stand. • We will have full FPD operational after Tevatron shutdown.
