Info

The GT Readout Platform aims to provide a readout system for use with new pixel detectors developed at SLAC (2023 and onward) that use high-speed (> 1 Gbit/s) gigabit transceivers for their data output.

High priority tasks and questions

Note

The tasks and questions below should be looked at as soon as possible since they might be blocking

  •  Verify the power plane thickness for high-current rails (request by Doering, Dionisio)
  •  Change the ASIC connector position

  •  ASIC team is still not able to quote us on the digital section power consumption.
    •  For now I would proceed as if the requirement was double w.r.t the old version

titleArchived questions
  •  Route +6V or +24V between analog and digital board?
    •  If +6V: All first-stage converters (LT8648S) must be on one the board with the input TFM connector
    •  +24V between boards
  •  For the 0.6V sink:
  •  On which board does the power connector (TFM) go and which type (TFM-112, TFM-115, etc)? (update Connectors section)
    •  TFM-113-02-L-DH was used on the ePixHR250M_2x2_Camera
    •  Analog board
  •  Use FPGA transceivers for clocking the ASICs?
    •  Yes 
    •  One per ASIC?
      •  Yes
      •  I think one per ASIC is the best solution. Is there any reason why we should go for a clock splitter?
        •  Probably no unless we run out of connector pins
  •  Does the digital board need the analog ground (AGND)? (see grounding)
    •  Will have it anyway since the TFM power connector is on the digital board
  •  What's the expected operating temperature range?
    •  -25C → +50C
  •  Are the ASIC digital supply (G_DS_X) and I/O supply (G_IO_X) shared among all four ASICs?
    •  Yes
  •  Can the DC/DC architecture be simplified? Some ICs not in stock, see DC/DC converters
    •  Replace LMZ31530 (30A) with TPSM5D1806 in parallel mode (12A) since Vcc_int is estimated at 7A?
      •  No, the 20A version should be available (LMZ31520)
  •  Provide space to measure both input (manual) and output (ADC) currents for all DC/DC?
  •  TPSM5D1806 does not work for 6V to 5.5V as a pre-LDO regulator!
    •  For 5.5V output, the minimum input voltage is 9.6V. See Table 7-3 in datasheet.
    •  Change first-stage converter to output 5.5V/5.0V instead of 6V?
      •  Second-stage LMZ31520 (Vout=0.85V) should be OK
      •  Second-stage TPSM5D1806 (Vout=1.8V and 0.9V) should be OK
      •  Changed first-stage converter to 5.0V on digital board now
  •  Remove DC/DC monitor on digital board
  •  Do we have the CML current consumption numbers?
    •  Gang is saying around 20mA (15mA + 30% LVT) per ASIC TX Transceiver (for all frequencies). ASIC RX consumption is negligible 
    •  Update power estimation table with these numbers
  •  Check 24V to 1.8V (LT8648S) if it works at 30A
  •  Replace LT1764 with LT3083 for simpler paralleling circuitry (see power graph)?
    •  No, using multiple LT3086 in parallel instead (up to 3x)
  •  Substitute HS DAC: from MAX5719A to AD5541A?
  •  Does the cooling system include a Peltier cell?
    •  The Peltier cells were removed after ePixHR10k5fps. We now adopt HFE cooling for low temperature liquid chillers or CO2 cooling systems
  •  Request components for Altium library (see Altium Missing Components section)

This is fine for the 2x2 Systems.

This is fine for the SparkPix-S 4x4

The number of GTs in this FPGA does not fit any of the cameras we are targetting

This is fine for the 2x2 Systems.

For the larger systems we need more than 3 FPGAs

This is fine for the 2x2 Systems.

This is fine for the 2x2 Systems (assuming we can fit the real estate).

The current drawn by the 0.6V current sink should not be counted twice since it's sourced by the G_AS.

The power drawn by the ASIC analog part is 1.3V*4.4A*4= 23W.

With 1.8V as the LDO input, we are also burning: (1.8-1.3)V*4.4A*4 = 9W.

The power drawn by the TPS should be less than 2W.


So the power that the DC/DC converters have to provide is around 23 + 9 + 2 = 34W.

Considering the efficiency curves of the DC/DC converters:

Nice to have

Transceiver

  • Ideal is to reuse the 300 Gbit/s Leap On transceiver from Amphenol, unless we find a replacement that operates with single mode power supply.

Board material 

  • Needs to be FR408HR or better

System level simulation 

  • GT to the ASICs
  • GT to the transceivers
  • Power drops

Carrier to analog board
  • How are we going to prevent ePixHRM carriers to be connected in to the 100kfps digital board and vice-versa?
    • Options could be mechanical pins or change connector polarities
    • Or via serial ID (needs to have a database) via soft locks
  • Routes all power, data and control signals to/from the ASICs
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b_nFUIKPOlVZJwAgv-RxHJQhuoHP3wuV?rtpof=true&usp=drive_fs
Analog to digital board
  • Distributes the 24V from the power connector
  • Routes data and control signals between the ASIC on the carrier and the FPGA on the digital board
External power supply
  • Should be on the bottom board (digital) because a pigtail is connected to it that is attached to the outside shell
    • If if was on the top board (analog) there's a risk of damaging the ASICs and their wirebonds on the carrier

Optical transceiver
  • Same as for the power connector
  • Place close to FPGA due to 25 Gbit/s signals

Grounding

  • Separate ground come into the system through the TFM power connector on the digital board
  • The HV supply ground and the Analog supply ground are connected to the same analog ground net
  • The digital supply is connected to the digital ground net
  • The analog and digital grounds are connected together on the digital board near the TFM power connector

The photo below shows the current cooling block designs (straight and angled), which is for a 30x6 SEAM/SEAF connector between analog and digital board.

The screenshot below shows that a 40x8 SEAM/SEAF connector can fit by extending the cutout in the cooling block without interfering with the pipe. Orange lines are the outline of the cooling block and the pipes in it.

The new connector is 10*1.27 = 12.7 mm longer.

Simulation by Pietro

  • Source files: LT3091 test.zip
  • A LT1965 LDO feeds a 2.5V (Vin) voltage to two LT3091 in parallel
  • At the outputs of the LT3091 there is a 2.4A current source with a 1.2V voltage source (will be 1.3V in final application) in series that emulate the ASIC front-end
  • The SET pins have a 50uA reference current source in LT3091
    • Since there are two in this configuration the total current is 100uA
    • This means that the voltage is V=I*R=100e-6*19e3=1.9V
    • This voltage is relative to the "GND" pins which are at a 2.5V potential
    • The potential at the output is therefore 2.5-1.9=0.6V
    • Closest standard value resistor is 19.1k that results in V=1.91V → Output is at 0.59V

Updated simulation with LT3806 and ballast resistor compensation

  • The LT3086 feeds the two LT3091's with 2.5V
  • The LT3086 is fed with a 5V supply
  • The Imonn signal is tapped off at a voltage divider which compensates for the two 10mR ballast resistors at the outputs of the LT3091's
  • Simulation file: LT3091_sinking_with_LT3086_and_compensation.asc
