Description

In the future years, luminosity, centre-of-mass energy of the proton-proton collisions at LHC will be strongly increased. Hence, next trigger system requires more challenging AM chips, with higher processing capability, lower power consumption, and higher memory density.

This work describes the characterization work on the first prototype (AM07) of these new generation 28 nm AMchips. Characterization results confirm the chip functionality up to 200 MHz as expected in simulation. With respect to the 65 nm AM06 chip, we achieved interesting results: we reduced the power consumption by a factor of 1.7 and the silicon area by a factor of 2.9.

Summary

This poster will contains results about the characterization test on the AM07. A brief introduction on the chip design will be given. Functionality plots and current consumption tables will be presented with an interesting discussion on the promising results that we obtained with this new CMOS technology.
