CSC Electronics • precision forward muon chambers • 32 chambers at Z ~ 7m, R ~ 1 to 2 m • electronics mounted on the chamber
CSC On-chamber electronics • Amplifiers, analog memory, digitizer, fiber optic links • 192-channel “ASM-PACK”
CSC Electronics reliability • Radiation qualification is part of overall reliability strategy • Goal: < 0.1% data lost due to hard or soft fails • Strategy: on-detector electronics boards must be as simple and robust as possible • ·Minimal parts list: see next slide • ·All intelligence to reside off-chamber (sparsifier/ROD) • ·ASM-PACK to have no • Configuration registers • Programmable logic • FIFOs • RAM • Counters • State machines • ·Thorough radiation test of all components • ·ESD protect inputs at board and chip level • ·ATLAS policy on grounding and shielding • ·Extra attention to amplifier stability • ·No DCS • Minimal monitoring
ASM-PACK components • Preamp/shaper – custom CMOS ASIC • SCA – custom DMILL ASIC* • Op-amp* • Voltage regulators* • 12-b ADC* • PECL translator* • G-link transceiver* • G-link serializer* • G-link deserializer • Multiplexer * These components common to LAr and CSC systems
Electronics qualification status • Majority of components are common with LAr • SRL’s are similar to LAr • Rad qualification of these components to be done jointly– already much progress from LAr groups • Preamp/shaper shows encouraging TID results to 1 Mrad (see next slide) • Other critical component is G-link receiver • SEE test set being constructed at UCI • Tests expected to start in Q1-2001 • Multiplexer – beginning to prototype with FPGAs, still have to choose rad-tolerant technology (discrete shift registers or ASIC)
