The ePixUHR35kHz Megapixel Cameras project aims to provide modular detector blocks that can be configured into larger cameras in various structural configurations. The smallest building block is a 3x2 detector sensor module, which has a total of 3*2*192*168=193536≈200k pixels. Six of these (6*193536=1161216≈1M pixels) modules are assembled together into a 1 megapixel (1M) camera as shown below to the left. Four of the 1M cameras can then be assembled together, around a central beam pipe aperture, to form a 4M camera shown in the middle below. The largest configuration foreseen for this project is the 16M camera that consists of 16 of the 1M camera blocks as shown below on the right. |

Due to asymmetry in the ASICs, the edges of the top row do not align exactly with the edges of the bottom row. The top row is shifted horizontally by 1.35 µm relative to the bottom row. The ASICs are spaced 19485 µm apart horizontally.

Sensors for ASIC and systems characterization
There is a strong need to have sensors capable of detecting visible light during the characterization phase of the detector. This capability enables the use on lab, low power, LASER that can reproduce the fast timing and large charges that will be experienced during beam time use. X-ray sensor do have metallization in the entrance window to block visible light therefore existing sensor are not suitable

The electronics for the 3x2 sensor module is split into two parts; the ASIC carrier (left in the block diagram below) and the readout board (right in the block diagram). They are electrically connected together through a right-angle connector from the Samtec SEARAY connector family, which provides a total of 500 pins for signals and power. The ASIC carrier contains the 3x2 ASICs together with the 3x2 sensor and minimal amount of other components in order to reduce the size and therefore increase the sensitive area of the detector focal plane (the are which is covered by a sensitive sensor). All the active circuitry for interfacing and powering the ASICs is located on the readout board as well as the components for optical communication with the external back-end system.
More details about the electronics design for the 3x2 module can be found on a dedicated page: 3x2 Readout Overview

The system is designed to operate at 48 V nominally. There are separate supply connections for analog (APWR/AGND) and digital (DPWR/DGND) that are feeding different parts of the readout electronics, which can be used to have a low noise analog supply and a high-efficiency digital supply for example.
The expected power for one 3x2 Readout Board with a Carrier Board attached to it is shown in 3x2 Readout Overview#3x2ReadoutOverview-Power and is extrapolated here for the 1M assembly and the 4M camera.
3x2 Readout Board + Carrier Board | 1M assembly | 4M camera | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Current | Power | Current | Power | Current | Power | |
Digital power (DPWR) - 48 V nominal | 0.95 A | 0.95*48 = 45.6 W | 6*0.95 = 5.7 A | 5.7*48 = 273.6 W | 4*5.7 = 22.8 A | 22.8*48 = 1094.4 W |
Analog power (APWR) - 48 V nominal | 0.56 A | 0.56*48 = 26.88 W | 6*0.56 = 3.36 A | 3.36*48 = 161.28 W | 4*3.36 = 13.44 A | 13.44*48 = 645.12 W |
NOTE: This does not include the power drop in the cables, which will depend on the cable lengths in each application. See Resistance,voltagedrop,powerlossandweight below for example values.
The power distribution diagram below shows how the power is distributed for a 1M assembly with all the boards and cables detailed as well as the expected power consumption values from above. More details of the different connectors, cables and parts is shown in the sections below.
The 1M Power Breakout Board distributes the power to six 3x2 Readout Boards. It has two externally facing square Harting connectors, one for all the power and one for optional signals. Each power channel is individually fused with a socketed fuse to protect against catastrophic failures. Changing a fuse requires removal of the board from the 1M assembly, which has been done intentionally since blowing a fuse indicates something internal to the 1M assembly has gone wrong and requires expert investigation. The thermistor connections can be selected on the board through switches to which of the six 3x2 Readout Boards they connect to. Only one thermistor shall be connected per thermistor channel.

Between the Power Breakout Board and the 3x2 Readout Boards there are cable assemblies that interface with Samtec TFM surface mount connectors on both sides that interface with Samtec ISDF cable mounted housings. Samtec also provides wire cable assemblies with the ISDF called SFSDT, which is what is being used here to reduce the amount of manual labour needed. See

The two square Harting connectors on the Power Breakout Board above is separated into one for power and one for signal. They have different gender to avoid wrong connections. The power connector have a "protected" female connector on the cable side where voltages may be exposed on the pins.

There will be one power cable connecting to the Power connector J1 on the ePixUHR35kfps 1M Power Breakout Board that is routed to external power supplies at the installed location. The choice of cable is motivated and discussed in
Jira | ||||||||

The cable is an igus CF9-05-12, which is a 12-conductor 0.5mm2 cable that is designed for heavy duty applications where the cable will be flexed in various direction, e.g. on a robotic arm. The outer jacket is made from TPE and the cable is specified to be halogen-free, PVC-free and Silicone-free. Some other important technical data about the cable:
Cores color coded in accordance with DIN 47100
Outer jacket colored dark blue (similar to RAL 5011)
We assume a cable length of 50 ft (15.24 m) for now to give some headroom for the installation.
The voltage drop over the cable depends on the length and the current passing through the conductors. The 3x2 Readout Overview power map shows that the highest current is for the digital supply that requires 0.95 A when running at 48 V. For a 1M assembly this means a total current of 6*0.95 = 5.7 A and there are two conductors in the Power connector J1 for each supply that share the current. With this information, we can calculate the expected resistance of the conductors in the cable:
Resistance | Voltage drop | Power loss | Weight |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
0.51816 Ω | 1.48 V | 4.2 W | 1.845 kg |
A flexible sleeve is used to guide the power cables and fiber optic cables for an application where the camera will be mounted on a robotic arm. A Triflex TRE sleeve from igus will be used and more details are available here. There are several sizes available and some of them are shown below as profiles with four gray power cables and four purple fiber optic cables (see below) placed inside for demonstration purposes. The cables are inserted into the sleeve through the slots at the top and bottom as shown below and there are tools available to ease with this.

Note: Due to the use of a right-angle connector there will be different path lengths for signals in different rows. See High Speed Characterization Report from Samtec. Table 16 on page 38 shows the propagation delay of the first row A (~100 ps) to the last row K (~180 ps) for different signal configurations. These propagation delay values have been assigned to the right-angle connector footprint pads for each row and will therefore be included in the propagation delay calculation in Altium when a trace is routed. The P and N signal of differential pairs should be placed in the same row to avoid skew between them. Timing critical signals should take into account the different propagation delays for the rows. |

The block diagrams have been created with Draw.io instead of the Gliffy integration in Confluence, which has major issue as soon as there are more than 100 items in the diagram it seems. It slows down the whole confluence page and it's near impossible to edit the diagram. There are also major limitations in the tools available in Gliffy, e.g. there doesn't seem to be a way to draw an arbitrary polygon or parallelograms.
