Brief summary of points discussed during the meeting. Points that need offline feedback [from indicated person] are marked with '?'
Proximity card
Presentation by Gianluca & Davide
- Is the resolution of the proximity board DACs sufficient? [chip designers]
- Is AD7386 ok choice for sampling the APTS signal? [chip designers]
- DPTS: check that all, in particular control, signals are routed to the PCIe connector [Gianluca & Davide]
Carrier cards
Presentation by Franco & Matias
- 4 layer board, layout optimized for as short as possible wire bonds
- Less than 50 ns rise time on TRG speed (1.2V)
- There will be no test points for signals neither on OA nor on SF version
- Check mechanical constraints on the card size? [Miko]
- Which decoupling capacitors on which lines? [chip designers]
- HV/PW pin (pin 13, verified with Wenjing) to be routed to an independent LEMO connector, for HV biasing of AC structures.
OA version
- Is the heat sink under the chip required? [Walter]
SF version
- Buffers are needed on carrier card (single ended)
- No dedicated effort is need in equalizing the traces
- No metal under the central part of the chip (0.5x0.5 mm2), a hole (r = 0.25 mm) is desirable under the chip center
- Bottom of the chip (central pad) should be connected to SUB
Next meeting as soon as the preliminary board design is ready.
