As a prototype of DUNE far detector, ProtoDUNE-SP single phase LAr TPC will sit in H4 beam line at CERN to study detector response to particles. It consists of 6 full-size APAs plus 2 CPAs, with total 15,360 TPC readout channels. The front-end readout electronics is comprised of cold electronics and warm interface electronics. The integral design concept of APA, cold electronics, feed-through,...
The upgrade of the CMS Outer Tracker for the HL-LHC requires the design of new double-sensor modules. They contain two high-density front end hybrid circuits, equipped with flip-chip ASICs, passives and mechanical structures. First prototype hybrids in a close-to-final form have been received from three manufacturers. To qualify these hybrids a test setup was built, which emulates future...
First full size 2S module prototypes for the CMS Phase-2 Tracker Upgrade have been assembled. With two sensors with realistic geometries and 16 CBC2 readout chips on two front-end hybrids, the characteristics of these complex objects can be studied.
A microTCA based readout system was developed to test multiple front-end hybrids simultaneously. Therefore the concurrent information of the full...
The ATLAS ITk is working to deliver a new Inner Tracking detector for use at HL-LHC. The strip tracker community has recently constructed partially loaded, double sided demonstrator staves using the HCC / ABC130 chipset in 130nm CMOS technology. Mindful of the need to maximise power efficiency whilst minimising the cost and material of associated cable plant, the system design includes the...
A compact-size, 64-channel, 80 MSPS, 14-bit dynamic range ADC module for the scintillating electromagnetic calorimeter of PANDA was developed, tested in various detector readout set-ups and are currently in mass production phase. The module performs signal filtration, extract important signal parameters and allow for resolving and parametrizing overlapping pulses. Processed data are pushed to...
A unified platform combining a low noise 64-channel power supply with environmental monitoring and a high data rate transmission system, rated up to 1.2 Gbps/sec, has been developed for commissioning of the ATLAS ITk silicon strip hybrids. The power supply with 10mV peak-to-peak noise, implements 3kV isolation and software control. Humidity, temperature, voltage and current are monitored for...
