Prototype AIDA ASIC: Channel Layout

• High (20MeV FSR), intermediate (1GeV FSR) and low gain (20GeV FSR) channels in parallel

• Blocks are sequenced to follow signal’s flow (“left to right”)

• Shaper and peak hold at back end to minimize noise

• 400m x 6mm

1: Medium Energy (ME) + ME

Input signals (voltage step capacitive-coupled)

Preamp buffered output(Low-Medium Energy Channel)

Trigger output

“Data Ready” signal

Variable medium-energy (ME) event followed after 5us by a second fixed ME event: the energy of the first event (11.75pC, 23.5pC, 35.25pC) does not affect the response to the second (11.75pC).

1: Medium Energy (ME) + ME


Analog output (peak-hold multiplexed output)

Trigger output


When the data ready signal is active, the correct value is present at the analogue output (after the hit has been detected and the correct address been fed into the output multiplexer).NB: the test environment is very noisy and that affects the measurements.

2: High Energy (HE) + ME

Three high-energy (HE) events (610pC, 430pC, 250pC) followed by a ME event (28.8pC): the initial HE event does not affect the response to the second.[The roll-of of the L-ME channel preamplifier is due to the HE channel amplifier becoming active: the two are effectively in parallel. Note the Range signal changing status after the HE event]



“Range” signalHigh = high-energy channel active





Although the low-medium energy channel preamp saturates, the correct value is stored and multiplexed to the Analog Output when the “Data Ready” signal is active.



Fixed high-energy (HE) event (610pC) followed by three ME events (15pC, 30pC, 45pC): the ASIC recovers autonomously from the overload of the L-ME channel and the second event is read correctly.






First value (constant) given by the High-Energy channel, second by the Medium-Energy channel.
