SY 1527 - SY 2527 - SY 3527 power supply boards 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 8

Channels “zoo” • HV and LV are used on different detectors /FE Electr. • Many grounding schemes are used • Floating channel: allows to minimize ground loop problems • Channel return & chassis ground: various levels of insulation available. • Polarity: may be fixed or reversible • Naming conventions may be misleading Let’s try to make things clear! 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 9

Channel Typology (Catalog naming) • HV Power supply boards: channels are polarized and referred to the system ground • Floating LV/HV Boards: a) channels are floating from the system ground up to 500 V on a channel by channel basis (reversible polarity) b) channels are polarized and insulated from the system ground on a channel by channel basis (fixed polarity) • Common Floating Return HV Boards: channels are polarized with common return insulated from the system ground (typ. HV boards) 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 10

HV Power supply boards (1) • Channels are polarized and referred to the system ground 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 11

HV Power supply boards (2) • A 173 x/B P/N Family: 12/28 Ch. HV boards with 100~500 n. A current resolution (used for PMTs) • A 183 x/B P/N Family: 12/28 Ch. HV boards with 100~200 n. A and 20 n. A current resolution (used for wire chambers) • A 1821 P/N: 12 Channels, 3 KV, 200 u. A or 20 u. A positive or negative boards with extremely high (2 n. A) current resolution (used for wire chambers) 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 12

Floating HV/LV Boards “reversible polarity” • All channels are floating from the system ground up to 500 V (reversible polarity) 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 13

Floating LV/HV Boards (a) • A 1510 - A 1511 - A 1512 - A 1519: 12 Ch. 100 V to 500 V boards, 1 or 10 m. A full scale current in a single width (used mainly for silicon/pixel detectors bias) • A 1513 A - A 1516 A – A 1517 A – A 1518 A: 6 Ch. Low Voltage floating boards, 15 V to 4. 5 V with currents respectively from 1. 5 A to 6 A: a) with sense wires for line drop recovery b) line drop recovery without the sense wires, only by adjusting a trimmer (used mainly for Front End Electronics supply) • A 1514 A: heterogeneous board, 7 Ch. , 2 x 500 V, 3 x 10 V, 2 x 7 V (used mainly for silicon/pixel detectors bias & FEE supply ) 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 14

Remote voltage sensing • Remote Sensing Line (SENSE +/-) to compensate for the voltage drop over the cable • Voltage is monitored directly at the load by an high impedance differential amplifier through the sense wires 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 15

Line Drop Recovery without sense wires • LV boards feature a Line Drop Recovery (LDR) system which can compensate for the voltage drop over the connection cables • Vset is modified according to the Impedance of the cable (Rcable) • If the User wishes to employ the LDR system a short calibration procedure is required (trimmer) • Advantages: no need for sense wires • Disadvantages: less accurate than sense wires, dependent from Rcable variations (e. g. temp. ) 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 16

Line drop recovery + remote sensing • Use of sense wires over the first cable segment (A, A’) • the remaining loss (voltage drop over rcable) can be compensated with the LDR • Advantages: better Vout accuracy, faster recovery to changes 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 17

Floating HV/LV Boards “fixed polarity” • channels are polarized and insulated from the system ground on a channel by channel basis (fixed polarity) 03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 18
