  1. High resolution TDC based on FPGA for TOF measurement Ji Qi with Yinong Liu, Zhi Deng, Yi Wang Tsinghua University

  2. Outline • FPGA TDC Design • Test results • TDC electronics • TOF spectrum with MRPC • Summary and future plan

  3. FPGA TDC: prons and cons • Advantages • High integration and flexibility, SOC • Short period of development • Low cost • Disadvantages • Tempurature dependent • Poor linearity control

  4. Principles

  5. The time intepoltaion methods Vernier caliper method Delay chain method S.S. Junnarkar, P O'Connor et al., IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, 2008 J. Wu and Z. Shi, IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, 2008

  7. Real time calibration Bin width [ps] Bin code RMS of a bin width [ps] Total number of calibration hits

  8. DNL Linearity Performance INL

  9. 84.4% bin width <=50ps

  10. Timing Resolution rms=38.7ps two channels rms=27.4psone channel for bin width <50 ps

  11. Temperature Dependence

  12. Preliminary Spectrum Test Count [cnts/ps] Time residual [ps]

  13. Test with MRPC Detector Fast Scintillator and PMT FPGA TDC MRPC and its frontend board NIM to TTL

  14. Preliminary TOF Spectrum Total count = 6390

  15. Summary and Future Plan • An FPGA TDC using delay chain has been developed and tested. It achieve 27ps rms resolution for more than 84% bins. • The temperature shift is measured to be up to 100ps from 10 degree to 40 degree. So it needs temperature control before we find the source. • A newer frontend ASIC with TOT information will be developed in the near future and then we can do the TOF measurement with MRPC detectors more precisely.
