Design and Realization of an ALICE SDD End-Ladder Prototype
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the last version of a rad-hard digital chip together with a full end-ladder card prototype of the data acquisition (DAQ) chain of the ALICE SDD experiment. The chip has been designed and constructed using a rad-hard digital library provided by CERN. The end-ladder card includes all the electronic devices foreseen for the DAQ chain of ALICE SDD experiment. Moreover the card interfaces with the front-end electronics and with the counting room detector data link (DDL). Particularly, the end-ladder card prototype has been designed taking into account the constraints on the dimensions of the final apparatus.

Analysis and Simulation of ZVS Methods in Full Bridge Converters and Realization of a 3 KW Prototype
One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...

In this paper, a modified auto zeroed integrator is used to design and simulate a low-voltage high-Q switched capacitor pseudo 2-path filter. The filter is a sixth–order Chebyshev band-pass filter operating at sampling frequency of 1MHz and center frequency of 250 kHz with a quality factor of 50. The proposed filter has both low-voltage and high speed properties of the auto zeroed integrators ...

A first prototype of the front-end ASIC dedicated to the trigger detector of the dimuon arm of ALICE has been designed and tested. This note introduces the new discrimination technique implanted in the chip in order to improve the time resolution of the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) in the streamer mode. The electronic design is then described and the test results are presented.
