Raul Martin Lesma (Centro de Investigaciones Energ. Medioambientales y Tecn. - (ES)08/03/2016, 16:00PosterThe Versatile Link Demonstrator Board (VLDB) is the evaluation kit for the Radiation Hard Optical Link ecosystem, which provides a 4.8 Gbps data transfer link for communication between front-end and back-end of the experiments. It gathers the Versatile Link main radiation hard custom ASICs: GBTx, GBT-SCA and VTRx/VTTx plus the FeastMP, a radiation hard in-house designed DCDC. This board is the...Go to contribution page

Dr Pablo Fernandez-Martinez (Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM,CSIC))08/03/2016, 16:02PosterThis work presents a new silicon vertical JFET transistor, based on a trenched technology developed at the IMB-CNM, to be used as switch for the High-Voltage power distribution in the ATLAS upgrade Inner Tracker. After a thorough optimization work, performed by TCAD simulations, selected designs have been chosen for device fabrication at the IMB-CNM clean room. The first prototypes have been...Go to contribution page

Julian Maxime Mendez (CERN)08/03/2016, 16:05PosterThe poster focuses on the main release foreseen for June 2016 including the slow control. This feature is used to monitor/control the front-end electronics. It allows configuring the GBTx and communicating with the SCA. One GBT link can be used to control up to 21 SCAs. Different types of commands will be implemented to use all the available interfaces. The poster also report a status on the...Go to contribution page

Venetios Polychronakos (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))08/03/2016, 16:07PosterThe use of the ATLAS New Small Wheel electronics readout architecture for the trigger and readout of the Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) detectors of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer in the HL-KHC is proposed. In the core of the proposal is the VMM, the front end ASIC that will be used for bothe Micromegas and sTGC detectors.Go to contribution page

Dr Yun Chiu (Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Dallas)08/03/2016, 16:09PosterPreliminary experimental results of a 14-bit split-SAR ADC prototype implemented in 65-nm CMOS are reported. Inherent architectural redundancy and the newly proposed SEE-detection circuitry constitute two prominent features of this work for efficient SEE detection and correction (to be experimentally verified). With FIB and foreground calibration, the prototype ADC measured a 74.6-dB peak SNDR...Go to contribution page

Benedikt Ludwig Bergmann (Czech Technical University (CZ))08/03/2016, 16:11PosterA network of 13 Timepix detector based devices consisting of two sensitive sensors interlaced by neutron converter layers was installed at different locations in the ATLAS detector cavern during the recent shut-down. In this poster, we present the calibration measurements (photons, neutrons and ions) of the individual devices, their positions within the ATLAS cavern, the data acquisition...Go to contribution page

Daniel Dzahini (LPSC/IN2P3)08/03/2016, 16:13PosterWe present two SAR ADCs using a generalized redundant search algorithm and offering the flexibility to relax the requirements on the DAC settling time. Two more bits of redundancy allow also a digital calibration, based on a code density analysis to compensate the capacitors mismatching effects. A monotonic switching algorithm is used for these prototypes saving about 70% of dynamic power...Go to contribution page

Dominik Steffen (Technische Universitaet Muenchen (DE))08/03/2016, 16:15PosterUsing FPGA-technology for event building tasks in high-energy physics experiments reduces costs and increases reliability of DAQ-systems. In 2015, COMPASS experiment at CERN’s SPS commissioned a novel, intelligent, FPGA- based DAQ (iFDAQ) in which event building is performed by FPGAs. The highly scalable system is designed to cope with an on-spill data rate of 1.5 GB/s and sustained data...Go to contribution page

Mitchell Franck Newcomer (University of Pennsylvania (US))08/03/2016, 16:17PosterThe Phase II upgrade of the ATLAS Liquid Argon detector includes a 17 bit dynamic range front end amplifier with a two or three gain multi‐pole shaper employing CR‐(RC)n shaping. Each gain stage of the shaper will be followed by a 40Msps, 14b dynamic range, 12‐13b ENOB digitizer, serializer and fiber optic driver. A study is underway to see if a single technology (65nm or 130nm CMOS) will be...Go to contribution page
