Power Distribution Studies at Fermilab Aida Todri, FNAL ATLAS/CMS Power WG Meeting March 31st , 2010
Outline • Panel test stand. • System setup. • DC-DC conversion powering scheme tests: • Efficiency measurements. • Cooling impact on converter. • Pixel performance measurements.
Panel Test Stand • CAPTAN • DAQ system, 12bit ADC, 65MHz • Panel • 21 ROCs, TBM, 40MHz, Ianalog~1.35A, Idigital~1.5A with external load • Converters • AMIS2 DC-DC converters for VA and VD.
Pixel Calibration Analog signal in ADC counts from all the readout chips in a panel sampled by the front-end digitizer. Decoding of analog signal.
DC-DC Converters • Chip: AMIS2 by CERN • Vin=6-12V • Iout<3A • Vout=3.3V • fs=600kHz..3MHz • PCB: Aachen • 2 copper layers • External air-core inductor • L=550nH, R=80mΩ AMIS2
Impact of Chip Cooling • Observation : Cooling the converter chip ~20˚C impacts the regulator and decreases the voltage level being supplied to the panel. • Cause degradation in the signal pulse. no cooling w/ cooling
Temperature Measurement no cooling with air fan cooling Ton_chip=70˚C Ton_chip=69˚C Ton_ind=106.8˚C Ton_ind=88˚C
Power Supply Noise No converter w/ DC-DC converters ∆=278mV Vout=2.42V Vout=3.26V, Vin=9V Temp=62.8˚C
Performance Measurements S-Curve Test: • To measure the signal threshold and noise level of each pixel. • Efficiency of the pixel is derived as a function of the amplitude of the calibration signal. • Each pixel response is obtained by injecting calibration pulses with different Vcal DAC values (1Vcal=65e). • S-Curve calibration is run with and without DC-DC converters.
Serial Powering Test Stand • SPi Chip: FNAL • Vshunt=1.2 to 3V • Iseries=0 to 4A • CAPTAN sending data packets to program the SPi chip to operate at different modes. • SPi powered through a power supply source by limiting current. • Limited current output to drive a plaquette or panel • Used ~ 250mA
CAEN A4603 DC-DC Conversion Panel Next Test Setup • Setup modified CAEN A4603 module to power up the chips • Perform test a lower temperatures (chiller box) • Perform test with a magnet 1.5T.
Conclusions • Currently: • Performing power integrity tests on the panel system • Performing pixel performance measurements • Characterizing the DC-DC converter and serial powering schemes and their efficiencies • Next Steps: • Continue with performance measurement studies for DC-DC powering scheme. • Complete test stand setup using: • CAEN power supply, magnet, cooler temps. • Testing of serial powering scheme • Efficiency comparisons between two schemes.
