- All equipment has arrived
- Fernando has updated amp circuit to eliminate ringing on output
- Yi has DAQ and control programing well underway. Operating at 1KHz
- Integrating voltage control and temperature settings
- Next will work on ROOT programs for fitting
- Mechanical integration (Chuck)
- Drawings are being prepared. Expect completion by Mar 1
- Mechanical cooling (Jim)
- Introduced a new idea of a "C" mini-board to deliver bias and sum the 16 inputs from the SiPM.
- Considerable discussion on this subject, but the concept was accepted.
- Improvements to the concept include: a) Change pins connections to electronic board with 3 coax cables. b) Change thermal paste for Silicon pads c) Thermistor connection to heat shield on back side.
- Temperature compensation (Jack)
- Carefully selecting 0.5% resistors for R2, will keep variations within 2.8% at 5deg C and less than 5% at 20 deg C.
- Dark (leakage) current of SiPM will impact set points. Currently use 10microA of dark current for SiPM array, and the circuit draws 300 microA. If dark current increases significantly, this may impact variation in outputs. Note: The project design is to keep dark rate (i.e. current) increase to less than a factor of 5.
- These currents are likely to be ok at 5 deg. At 20 deg the 5% may be exceeded, but should be able to be brought back into range by adjusting bias.
- We decided we should keep the power consumption of the board at its current level below 1 W.
- But... need to check on current draw during beam conditions.
- Preamp-summing (Fernando)
- As per discussion last week, it appears that the amp/sum electronics can fit on the top side of the board, which allows room for bias on the bottom side. This will allow to reduce the number of boards from 2 to 1.
