Intro & BCC-HSIO Status Carl Haber Dec 10, 2010 Stave Mtg
Intro and News • Some action items for AUW • DC-DC stavelet • Noise measurements on 1st stavelet • Ground bounce – how should serial power be segmented on a chain-of-24? • Distribution of module assy hardware • Working meeting: Feb 1-2 RAL • New tracker steering group IT-SC
Hardware • HSIO has been distributed • Interface boards have been sent to UK (10), CERN (6), BNL • Ready to assemble 15 End-of-Stave (connector delivery was delayed) • BCC V3 is in fabrication • Will produce new BCC boards for these
Powering Serial power board Loopback board BCC board
Configuration • BCO out from BCC is LVDS and is locally terminated in 100 W • BCO in is driven from the EOS card, line is terminated in 60 W and back terminated in 100 W. Driver is M-LVDS • Expected line impedance is ~70 ohms (4-4-4-6 mil) • EOS driven from HSIO and new interface card • Firmware drives a 40 MHz BCO clock • BCO input network is 1M-10K-1M • BCC can be powered parallel (2.5 V, 1.08 A for 24) • BCC can be powered in parallel, 24*2.5 V, 50 mA
With attenuation on the clock bus, the input offset was too high with this nominal network (150 mV) • Switch to 1M-10K-1M (12 mV offset) • BCO out duty cycle is now solid at 50%
BCO input amplitude vs pos’n Amplitude is measured both with scope peak to peak function (blue) and manually with cursor tool (red) Prediction from Chain-of-8 This attenuation is due to series resistance down the clock bus, not clear why it flattens out around the mid-point (lithography?)
Issues from AUW • It would be nice to know how much amplitude margin we have before duty cycle can become an effect again • Compare performance with serial powering • Measure 80 MHz DCLK asymmetry on 24 BCC • Measure resistance down clock bus • Vary end and back termination (?) • Check BCO out for BCO off – chatter • Find IDELAY settings for 24 data outs • EOS Tester code is being extended from 8 to 24
DCLK Pattern for 24 BCC Pattern is very regular for this sample of 24 BCC V2
Serial Power • Serial regulator chain works DC for 1-24 drops when tested with a simple resistive load • Next step is to power 1,2,3….24 BCC in sequence • See correct DC response but BCC response is inconsistent for small number of loads • Do not completely understand how to operate a partially powered multi-drop system, need to isolate a BCC board • To be continued….
