  1. Long Cables Test • Upgrade of SCTA test setup • Moved hardware to VELOLAB • Added soft reset to TTC chip in the RB2 • One clock from SEQSI drives all boards • 40 MHz Read-out VME BUS trigger Ck Ck Seqsi TTCvi TTCrx RB2 trigger trigger Ck trigger Hybrid Repeater Board data Liverpool VELO Workshop

  2. SCTA data read-out Short cable • 2 chip daisy chain read hybrid • “short cable” readout without the Line Equalizer • Probing the signal before the ADC Repeater Board FADC + RB2 No Line Equalizer ~50 cm ~30 cm Patch box Flat cable Bipolar Lemo Liverpool VELO Workshop

  3. SCTA data read-out Short cable • Deformed header @ 40 MHz • 1 MIP injected Liverpool VELO Workshop

  4. SCTA data read-out Long cable no equalizer • 60 m cable (see Raymond talk) between the Repeater Board and the ADC • No attempt to recover the signal Liverpool VELO Workshop

  5. SCTA data read-out Long cable • 60 m cable • Line equalizer • Standalone FADC outside of the RB2 60 m Repeater Board Standalone FADC Line Equalizer ~50 cm ~30 cm Patch Panel Patch Panel Pair of Lemo Bipolar Lemo Liverpool VELO Workshop

  6. SCTA data read-out Long cable • Deformed Header - Repeater Board drivers are too weak • RC behavior after the header (line mismatch?) Liverpool VELO Workshop

  7. SCTA data read-out Long cable • Added a buffer stage before the cable • Same drivers used in the Raymond tests • Header fully recovered - Amplifier chain gain ~ 0.5 ~50 cm 60m Repeater Board Standalone FADC LineEqualizer ~30 cm Line Drivers Patch Panel Patch Panel Pair of Lemo Bipolar Lemo Liverpool VELO Workshop

  8. SCTA data read-out Long cable + RB2 • Inserted the FADC into the RB2 • Pick up of noise when inserted into RB2 ~50 cm 60m Repeater Board FADC + RB2 LineEqualizer ~30 cm Line Drivers Patch Panel Patch Panel Pair of Lemo Bipolar Lemo Line Drivers FADC Input Liverpool VELO Workshop

  9. SCTA data read-out Long cable + RB2 • Data seen in the Oscilloscope Line Drivers FADC Input FADC Input Averaged FADC Input Liverpool VELO Workshop

  10. SCTA read-outRB2 Pedestal • Check the effect of high frequency noise Delay scan • The RB2 has one 5 bit PDU with 1 ns time resolution • Not all the delay settings are allowed • Delay between the RB2 FPGA input register and the FADC • Writing to FIFO a non stable FADC value Injected charge scan • Up to 1 MIP injected charge Signal to noise ratio, linearity and significance • The signal to noise ratio is (<signal> - pedestal) / noise • Significance is defined as signal / sigma(signal) and gives an hint of how stable are the signals Liverpool VELO Workshop

  11. SCTA read-outRB2 • Pedestal plots are sensible • The pedestal sigma is greater • The noise is as usual Liverpool VELO Workshop

  12. SCTA read-outRB2 - Short cable • ADC value vs. PDU delay for half a Mip and 1 Mip injected for one “typical” channel • FADC data instability? Liverpool VELO Workshop

  13. SCTA read-out RB2 - Short cable • Signal linearity is good once you selected the proper time slot Liverpool VELO Workshop

  14. SCTA read-out RB2 - Short cable • Signal to noise ratio The signal significance is greater than 10 over more than 10 ns Liverpool VELO Workshop

  15. SCTA read-outRB2 - long cable • ADC value vs. PDU delay for (about) half a Mip and 1 Mip injected Liverpool VELO Workshop

  16. SCTA read-out RB2 - Long cable • Signal linearity is like expected from SCTA • Cross check that data are sensible Liverpool VELO Workshop

  17. SCTA read-out RB2 - Long cable • The signal to noise ratio is 10% less than the one measured with the short cable • gain uncertainty - linearity The signal significance is good over ~ 15 ns The signal slope is significant Liverpool VELO Workshop

  18. Conclusions • First measurements of SCTA at 40 MHz highlighted some limits of the system • Weak line driver in the repeater board • Pick up noise into the RB2 • RC behavior • Reduced PDU delay range • The showed results are “typical”… Some problems with many channels, PDU delays, timing of the system indeed. • Some check still to do • Data are there, however • It is possible to read data with long cables • The chosen cable is not the best on the market... • The line equalizer can be even better optimized • End of exercise • Cross talk • Signal to noise for a particle (laser) • Resolution (difficult to do without a beam…) Liverpool VELO Workshop
