Front End ASIC requirements
• 64 channels photon counting– Single photon counting 100% trigger efficiency: 1/3 pe (~50 fC when MaPMT
gain=106)– Double pulse resolution : ~10 ns
• => 3 different designs are embedded• Charges to Time (Q-to-T) converters (based on KI02 ASIC –
JAXA/RIKEN)– 8 channels: each for 8-pixel sum preamplifier signals– Pixels charge measurement: 2pC – 200pC
• Data acquisition & Readout to be done within 2.5 µs (GTU)– Readout Clock : 40MHz
• Radiation Hardness By Design : TMR (Triple Module Redundancy) • Power budget : <1 mW/channel

Photon Counting - Architecture
3 designs: Trig_PA: output directly from preamplifier → lowest dissipation
Trig_FSU : unipolar fast shaper → baseline
Trig_VFS : new optimised fast triggering shaper → fastest design
Multiplexed Trigger to Digital part
2 x 10-bit DAC for threshold
Turn off all blocks.

Q to T: Architecture
Time Over Threshold technique based on a block designed by JAXA/RIKEN (called KI) 8 channels: Each channel input is the sum of 8 consecutive
preamplifier outputs 10-bit DACs for threshold

• Good behaviour for first prototype
• Good baseline for Photon Counting
• Slow Control cells & Digital modules
working as expected
• Will be used for EUSO-Balloon
(CQFP160)
SPACIROC1 bugs Power consumption:
Due to design bugs, unused component can’t be turned off.
Double pulse separation: 10ns is never reached (due to the power dissipation)
Q to T converter: 8-pixel-sum
Linearity zone is 75% smaller than simulations
Integrated signal swing is 0.7V instead of 1.5V
