Description
A portable readout system for micro-strip silicon sensors has been developed.
The system uses an analogue pipelined readout chip, which was developed for
the LHC experiments. The system will be used to characterise the properties of
both non-irradiated and irradiated micro-strip sensors. Heavily irradiated
sensors will be operated at the Super LHC.
The system hardware has two main parts: a daughter board and a mother
board. The daughter board contains two readout chips, analogue data
buffering, power supply regulation and chip-to-sensor fan-in structures.. The
mother board is intended to process the analogue data that comes from the
readout chips and from external trigger signals, to control the whole system
and to communicate with a PC via USB. There is provision for an external trigger
input (e.g. scintillator trigger) and a synchronised trigger output for pulsing an
external excitation source (e.g. laser system).
A prototype of the system will be presented as well as early measurements
operating a silicon micro-strip sensor in a laser setup.
