Radiation Testing Strategies: From Ground-Based Campaigns to Flight Correlation
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...
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...
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...
