EUSO PAYLOAD ELECTRONICS:BASELINE ASSUMPTIONS 89 Independent Macrocells 36 PMT per Macrocell 64 anodes per PMT TOTAL: 205056 pixels on 3204 PMTs Nom & Red Instrument Control Unit (ICU) A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
EUSO PAYLOAD ELECTRONICS A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
EUSO FRONT END MAIN EFFORT A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
MACROCELL ELECTRONICS: • Anode Front End Electronics (ASICs) • Macrocell Readout Electronics (FPGA, Memories) • Power Supply (LVPS, HVPS) A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
MACROCELL LAYOUT EXAMPLE: A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
ANODE FRONT END • Biasing Network (Divider, filters) • Array of ASICs Each ASIC include: - Anode-level discriminator (analog threshold) - Pixel-level discriminator (digital threshold) - Control lines (GTU reset, Inhibit) - X,Y, PH_CNT outputs - Mask registers - Serial I/F for settings A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
MACROCELL READOUT: A FINMECCANICA COMPANY
PMT HV BIASING • Single HVPS for each Macrocell (36 MA-PMTs) PMT bias distribution on the Macrocell to be investigated • At least two HVs for split-divider operation: HV1 = -900V nominal, HV2 = -300V nominal • HV setting via TC HV1/HV2 fixed ratio • Grounded anodes configuration (to simplify anode signal pick-up): Need for cathode guarding !
