2 Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Given the constraints on impedance and geometry, TDM is the best way to go on the timescale of SCUBA 2 • look at pixels on one at a time • sample frequency > Nyquist frequency of low pass filter • advantage: turning signal completely off is easy with superconductivity • problem: complexity of digital feedback with switching channels • modulate signal from each pixel into a different waveband • problem: Johnson noise leaking out-of-band Time-Division Multiplexing

2 How to read out SCUBA-2? • Our arraying scheme must be extensible to the goal of an • 11 arcminutes diameter field at 450 mm (200 x 200 pixels). • Each pixel requires two leads • The pixels cannot be biased in parallel with a common ground • because of constraints on crosstalk and the current sourced to • the base temperature. • Multiplexing outside of the focal plane may be prohibitive. • A 200 x 200 array will require 80,000 leads bump bonded out • of the detector array. It is an immensely difficult wiring, • connectorization, and crosstalk problem to extract these leads • from the focal plane and connect them to 80,000 first-stage • SQUIDs, given constraints on real estate and wafer size.
SQUID wafer (3” diameter) Multiplexing Outside the Focal Plane 6” interconnect wafer Detector Array 11 arcminute diameter (~10 cm) • 80,000 leads, ~1 mm • on 2 mm centers. • Crosstalk and inductance • is an issue. • Complicated bump bonding • problem
2 Detector Array 11 arcminute diameter (10 cm) Multiplexing in the Focal Plane SQUID Wafer • No interconnect wafer • Much smaller total area • Two orders of magnitude • fewer leads • Much simpler bump bonding • Crosstalk and inductance • vastly reduced.
