ASIC DEVELOPMENT IN LYON Hervé MATHEZ, Yannick ZOCCARATO, Luigi CAPONETTO (CNRS IN 2 P 3 IPNL) Collaboration with LAL/LAPP CALICE electronics meeting LLR January 2010, Hervé MATHEZ 8
Mixed signal Asic design This ASIC include : (for details see talk on previous Calice meeting in Lyon) • Digital part for DIRAC design • I 2 C serial link for slow control parameters • CSA : • same analog block as DIRAC 3 • slow control parameters (4 gains) controlled through I 2 C AMS 0. 35 µm in CMOS process Cadence design flow for digital and analog parts CALICE electronics meeting LLR January 2010, Hervé MATHEZ 9
Advantages of the serial interface vs a shift register o Individually addressed readout and slow control. o More flexibility for the user o Easier for the driver firmware design (DIF board) o The readout of the sent parameters is possible without rewriting them. o Easier board routing (without chips chaining). o Less sensitive to the risk of failure propagation.

CSA for RPC/µMEGAS o Switched integrator o Folded cascode with feed forward compensation technique o 4 gains (10 p. F 200 f. F 100 f. F 50 f. F) o 100 m. V/p. C, 4 m. V/f. C, 7 m. V/f. C, 10 m. V/f. C o Main goal is to detect pulses as low as 2 f. C o Return from fab in October 2009 o Tests will be performed with standard comparator CALICE electronics meeting LLR January 2010, Hervé MATHEZ 11

Conclusion ASIC : o Return from fab : October 2009 o Test is started since 1 week o Digital part : o. I 2 C is working : CSA can be controlled by I 2 C • Power, max frequency : still to be measured o. Digital part for DIRAC will be tested soon o Analog part : • Close to parasitic simulation (Gconv) • To be be measured : • Noise • Linearity • Minimum pulse detection with standard comparator o In case of ILC timing the CSA must be improved o Slow rise time could explained the minimum pulse detection o Next step o Digital part can be implemented in DIRACx/HARDROCx o. This link can be doubled to introduce redundancy (reduce risks of failure) CALICE electronics meeting LLR January 2010, Hervé MATHEZ 19
