PhaseII discussion
ITK Power Supply Meeting Minutes (Apr 19th 2017)
================================================
- people at meeting : Steve Mcmahon, Alex Grillo , Ming-Lee, Rachid, Song-Ming
- Ming-Lee presented current status of HV PS
- decide not to use commerical PS since ATLAS requires
input voltage source and the output voltage source to
have separate grounding.
- designing a prototype : a single channel PS module
- output voltage upto 700V, 10mA
- aim to have module made before end of June.
- Alex :
- HV power supply :
- connectors to HV modules depend on the SCT HV cables that we will
be re-using
- HV may need to go up to 750 V (max)
- output current ~10 mA
- may need to go up to ~20mA depending number of channels per stave
to power
- need interlock per channel, or per 8 channels
- need design review after Ming-Lee build the first proto-type and test
- Ming-Lee is interested to design the patch panel box that connects
the HV cables from the PS to the HV cables going into the detector.
- LV power supply :
- Need someone to build LV PS
- For pixel :
- Krakow group designing DC-to-DC converter
- stepping down from ~48V to ~12V
- LV PS provides a constant current source to drive ~6-8 pixel modules
in series
- voltage across each pixel module is about ~1.5V
- Steve :
- like us to also participate in the cable task force
since PS and cabling are closely related
- would ask the pixel/strip people to provide us the power supply
specifications
- Next ITK week (June 26)
- Will we have proto-type and some test done already by the ITK week ?
