Radiation Testing Strategies: From Ground-Based Campaigns to Flight Correlation
The magnetometer frontend ASIC (MFA-4) is a mixed signal system that comprises the necessary circuitry for operating a fluxgate sensor. This sensor technology has provided a high-quality standard for magnetic field measurements in space since years and require an extensive circuitry to operate a set of three coils per axis for magnetic excitation, sensing and compensation. This necessary...
Summary
This paper presents the test system developed to evaluate the static and the dynamic parameters of a prototype low-power high-performance four-channel Analog-to-Digital-Converter (QUAD-ADC) during the Total Ionization Dose (TID) and its integration into a Single Event Effects (SEE) test platform developed for the SEE characterization. The DUT (Device Under Test) is a Pipeline ADC of...
The CMS detector is set to be upgraded for the HL-LHC proton collider at CERN with the addition of a MIP Timing Detector (MTD). The MTD will feature barrel and endcap timing layers, BTL and ETL, to enable precise timing measurements of charged particles. The BTL sensors utilize LYSO:Ce scintillation crystals coupled with SiPMs and TOFHIR2 ASICs for front-end readout. Over the HL-LHC's...
After nearly a decade of prototyping and designing on XH180 at TESAT, our first design RUCA has finally reached FM-Level and is ready for launch. The RUCA is a mixed signal ASIC, build to bias external RF-components. For this purpose, DACs, ADCs, on-chip power supply and biasing, regulation loops and a huge digital part have been implemented. All these functionalities showed sufficient...
