Prototypes and Designs
Intro
• We have developed a 6 chip ceramic ABCD hybrid for the Stave-2007 program– In use for ongoing studies of stave and transmission
• A new flex version of this will be fabricated as well. Layout complete, check prints– This will used to test substrate issues (PM talk)
• Beyond this a hybrid series is needed for the ABC-Next and Stave-2008 program
• Liverpool will lead this program• July 30-31 I met with the Liverpool and Oxford groups, in
the UK, to discuss this program– Includes hybrid development and data transmission studies

Ongoing Program
• More in PM talk• Individual hybrids/modules work well electrically• Main issue has been data transmission on the
stave with multiple modules.• Lack of robust response to LVDS commands• Significant work on test bench with D.Nelson
(many thanks for this…)• While we have made a number of improvements
we are not there yet• This has delayed further mounting of modules
on Stave-2007
Hybrid for Stave-2008, ABC-next
• Oxford Meeting July 30-31, 2008– Phil Allport, Ashley Greenal, Tony Affolder, CH, Richard
Nickerson, Tony Weidberg, Todd Huffman, Peter Phillips, Mike Tyndel
• A key issue has been how to accommodate robust early testing of the ABC-next and Stave-2008, considering the lack of a MCC
• Drive towards a minimum area design• Concern for data transmission problems
– Parallel bus testing program• Follow-up meeting in US, late Sept, proposed
Conclusion of Meeting
• A plan was developed to systematically address these various needs
• Liverpool will under take the design and fabrication of a series of hybrids over the next 6-9 months
• Various design choices will be made as options are understand further.
Proposal
• Hybrid-1: for ABC-next test in legacy mode.– Can 20 ABC-next operate as a system?– Not compatible with stave and bus cable– Large connector, control with modified Mustard– Interface to various powering options– To be ready this Fall along with ABC-next
Proposal
•A single PCB which can accommodate 2 hybrid fingers (with sensor)• All module connections to PCB made using wire bonds (as done by US)
• Fusing current for 25µm Al wire is ~500mA• Topology of connections will be similar to that presently used on US Stave• Power/DCS towards one end and Data I/O at the opposite end of hybrid
•For module readout & configuration make use of SCTDAQ (Mustard+SLOG+LV3)• Requires ABCns to operate in Legacy Mode (1 x Master/column) with data rate limited to
40MHz• Mustard firmware will be modified to accept increased ChipID field
• AC-coupled LVDS data transmission to/from module• LVDS RX (CLK, COM, etc.) powered parasitically off module VDD (2V5)• LVDS TX (Module data) powered from LV3 power supply VDD (4V)
•Make use of plug-in boards to provide the various powering scheme – the main PCB is simply a carrier
• One plug-in per finger, coming in different flavours• SPi plug-in, Pseudo SPi (with own shunt regulation and bypass circuitry)• DC-DC powering
• Requirement for floating power supply I/P• SPi will be(?) configurable using SCTDAQ
•Direct connection to hybrid VDD/VCC for auxiliary powering• Allows for more thorough testing of ABCn powering• Over/under voltage scenarios + direct current monitoring

A Tentative Roadmap•July’08 begin layout of hybrid
• Will be fabricated as a Cu Kapton flex circuit• Using 35µm Cu (final version will use 12µm Cu) – build will otherwise be identical• Removes any uncertainty regarding asic/hybrid operation• Circuit will be laminated to rigid base board (FR4, carbon, ??)
•Expect hybrid circuit(s) to start to become available Oct’08• Circuits are being designed for both ASIC and Power evaluation
•ABCns due back Oct’08?• First testing begins of asics
•Expect release of ABCn’s Nov/Dec’08?

Consider using 18µm instead?
Proposal - continued
• Hybrids for staves are challenged by available area at ends
• Hybrid-2: for testing on stave– Assume MCC(s) is not available– Provide MCC function with either COTS chips or an
FPGA, real-estate issue– Can consider a very wide hybrid (35 mm) to
accommodate this, which still fits on stave– Aim for early 2009
• Hybrid-3: on stave with MCC(s)– Push for minimum area– Impact on MCC aspect ratio

Notes:
•Min. length of hybrid is 96.3mm
•<2mm real estate available at ends, assuming sizing is to 100mm sensor
•Where to locate MCC etc? (tape topology means 2 devices: 1 for power and 1 for digital I/O?)
•Consider reducing gap between ABCns doesn’t help. A reduction of 0.5mm/gap increases asic-to-sensor bonding angle to 35º (max is 18º)
•Necessary to increase hybrid length, will overhang sensor (rigidise?)
•Dimensions fixed – no other option!

Simplified hybrid scheme without a real MCC
Required Die
• U1: clock multiplier: candidate identified
• U2: data MUX: candidate identified
• 3 channels of LVDS receiver
• 1 channel of LVDS driver
• Serial powering components
Area• Strongly advocate an aggressive minimum
area design for Hybrid-3– Goal would be 97+? mm x 20 mm– Consider running bus work under the chips,
not just in the space between chips (asymmetric design)
– Driven by ceramic hybrid experience– Impact on location of pads in ABCnext Ver2?
