PS Status Report 1
R. D’Alessandro
 Proposed System
•Detector modules powered in parallel at a relatively
long distance (~ 120 m) from the PS.
–Group detectors together (up to 60 APVs)
–Use sense wires to regulate voltages on the load (LV only)
•High Currents (10 Amps)
•Relatively high voltage drops (4V)
Implies
•Efficiency issues (variable loads)
•Isolation at HF of the PS

•Place PS in a “safe” environment

Why 120 m ?
•PS always accessible

 System Architecture
Controller
•A PSM houses 2-4 PSUs and
their control logic.
•PSMs share the +48 V supplied PSM
by Power Units ( PU).
•PSMs are grouped in crates (9-
10 PSM/crate )
•The PSM rack ( PSM array ) is
driven by one dedicated
Controller, which is interfaced
to the CMS Slow Control

The Prototype PSU
• PWM (Switching PS)
– (less power dissipation
in the PSU)
• 2 HV generators
– (extra flexibility for
detector biasing inside
a given group)
• Relay switches
– (disconnect the cable
from the PSU)
• Low stray capacitance
transformers
– Improve HF isolation

 Short History (1)
• Project given the go ahead 20th April 2000
• Prototypes ordered:
– October 2000 (CAEN), December 2000 (LABEN)
• First release: (many iterations between Fi and manufacturers)
– June 2001 (CAEN), November 2001 (LABEN)
• June 2001, Torino releases its test box
• Prototypes returned to the manufacturers for
rework concerning isolation, stability, behavior
during transients
PS Status Report 5
R. D’Alessandro
 Short History (2)
• CAEN prototype back at the
beginning of 2002, isolation improved
plus other fixes
• Given to Torino for testing (plus
debugging of the test box)
• April 2002, first results presented
for CAEN (still some problems with transient behaviour)
• May 2002, CAEN modifies prototype
(shorter response time plus “crow bar”), LABEN

delivers its revised prototype.

PS Status Report 6
R. D’Alessandro
 Old Slide (May 2002)
• LABEN prototype tested in Florence,
CAEN in Turin (an exact repeat of the testing
sequence performed on the earlier version with the Turin
test box)
• Both manufacturers readily answered
queries and sent personnel to Turin and
Florence to solve minor issues.
The work done by both manufacturers is evident
in the progress made both for what concerns
the prototypes functionality and the over-voltage
and over-current behaviour.

PS Status Report 7
R. D’Alessandro
 Short History (3)
• May 2002 LABEN takes prototype in Milan
• June 2002, CAEN prototype back from
Torino
• July 2002, LABEN prototype back from the
manufacturer
In the meanwhile in Florence we have:
•developed various cable prototypes
•developed ( help from Torino) a fast switched load
•assembled and debugged the first all optical +
CCU25, silicon module readout
PS Status Report 8
R. D’Alessandro
 CAEN prototype

• ONE PSU per board (2 boards delivered)
• Prototype at the level of an evaluation board
• Software in good shape
LABEN prototype
• Developed from scratch
• TWO PSUs per board (2 boards delivered)
• Prototype at “final” engineering stage

 Qualification (the procedure)
• Use of “traditional” lab equipment
• Gain an understanding of the measurement
complexities
• Appraise the performance of the PS
prototypes
• Subsequently use the Torino automated
test fixture for detailed repetitive and/or
long term measurements

PS Status Report 12

 Qualification (the hardware)
Laben crate
The basics:
• Static loads
• MOS switched loads
• LCR meter(s)
• Digital scope(s)
• Cables CAEN crate

PS are floating ?
• Careful screening
• Well defined grounding
• Differential measurements
PS Status Report 13
R. D’Alessandro
 NOISE Measurements
•BW < 20 MHz
•Small capacitors 22 uF
•Noise @ 6 Amps (2.5V) and 4 Amps (1.25V),
depends very little on drawn current

•Measurements shown are with 50 metre

cable (ext. 12 mm)
•Adding another 100 metre doesn’t change
much (seems to have a beneficial effect)

 LABEN (comments)

• Stable behaviour (independent of load and cable length)

• Noise, is it acceptable ? (Especially HV)
• Transient behaviour generally very good
(current limits, etc.); can the response time to
voltage overshoots be bettered still ?
• Isolation is impressive, showing an understood
capacitive behaviour
• Prototype designed with final engineering
in mind
• Software not only a problem of looks, but
essential parts (like trip and ramping
procedures) missing. (A. Bocci in Florence is working20

 CAEN (comments)

• “Stable” behaviour (except for the 1.25V which is dependent of

load and perhaps cable length, but can be fixed)

• Excellent Noise performance

• Transient behaviour generally good (current
limits, etc.) there is an exception in a “pathological” condition.
• Isolation is good
• Prototype designed as an evaluation board, not
clear how it will scale to engineering stage and how the present
performance depends on the eval. Board arch.
• Software excellent, shows the great amount of
work the company has put in general on PS
systems.

Where did we start from…

•Noise, current limit,

over voltage, a long
learning curve for
both manufacturers
and
PS Status Report also for us.

 General Comments
• Prototype qualification is ONGOING
• Results shown are the first, after the
definition of a systematic approach in order
to have a reproducible set of measurements
• We will extend this approach to also include
the Torino test box for repetitive and long
term measurements
Both prototypes substantially answer our specifications as stated in the various
documents we produced. Can they be used for the system test ? YES! (with
caveats)
Above all the prototypes themselves need the system test in
order to be further developed !

 TIB system test
• Not only for PS but “evolving” into a fully
fledged mechanical and electrical test
– NEEDS optical decoupling to achieve
meaningful results
• At first we needed a relatively good
understanding of an optical system
compared to a copper one:
– Many measurements made (Marco Meschini
talk, yesterday at the module test meeting)

 What went inside
• We placed a fixed resistor (5 Ohm value) on
both LV lines
• Modules/Hybrids connected through TIST:
– Straight feed-through of the PS lines
– CMOS buffering (same as used in final string)
• 47uF + 100nF blocking capacitors (per Module)
• HV filter (specially for LABEN, but used also with CAEN)

R. D’Alessandro
 What went outside
• Industrial PC dedicated to this test
– two FEDs
– one FEC
– one TSC
– one Digital Optical Transceiver
– one Analog Optical Receiver

Plus a battery to supply 5 Volts to the

Digital Opto-Hybrid and CCU ring !

 Software
• “Standard” Module Test software (Lyon)
• Modifications for :
– Laser driver (new version)
– DOH, FEC
– CCU 25
• The software works with two FEDs but
can only address one I2C channel at a time

•Allows direct comparison, with the

module test suite

 Operating conditions
• Inverter out
• MUX 100 Ohms (15 setting)
• AOH, gain 3, bias 18 (new LDD!), 50 Ohm
termination
• Standard M.Raymond parameters for the APV
• 50 metre “internal” + 100 metre “external” cable,
which transports also sense wires and HV lines
• One common grounding point defined on the CCU
ring (la bara is completely isolated from the “outside”)

 Conclusions
• We have started !
• PS work has given fruit to what we think
is a viable option for the Tracker (next
months will give a definite answer)
• We will keep interacting with CAEN and
LABEN to solve the remaining issues
• The DAQ is stable, (no glitches, no
spurious hard resets !)
• Only two hybrids but ready to read-out
up to 6 simultaneously
