The Analog Pilot Chip
•Designed by G. Anelli, R. Dinapoli, A. Kluge
• Submitted: 19 April 2002
• First tests started beginning August 2002
• Only 2 boards available, new board in
production
4 mm
• Mixed mode
• Power supply: 2.5 V
• Power consumption (clocked): ~50mW
2 mm
The Analog Pilot Chip: the architecture
• Six 8-bit DACs for biasing the pixel chip
• One 10-bit ADC (with a 16-input multiplexer) to monitor:
 Temperature
 Power Supplies
 Pixel chip DAC outputs
 Analog Pilot chip DAC outputs
• Current sources for T monitoring
• Voltage references for the on-chip DACs and ADC (can be bypassed)
• JTAG controller
The Analog Pilot Chip: first results

Control Room
The GOL Chip and the Digital Pilot Chip
Digital Pilot Chip
•Receives control signals from the control
room
•Controls all the chips on the MCM via
JTAG
•Reads data from the chips and sends
them to the GOL chip
•First prototype tested and fully functional
Gigabit Optical Link serializer
•Translates data into Glink compatible
800Mbit/s stream of data on an optical link,
which will provide the connection from the
MCM to the control room
•It was already developed at CERN
•It’s tested and fully functional

Conclusions
• The Front End chip has been extensively tested, and is now qualified
to be used in the experiment
• Assemblies and ladders have been produced and successfully tested
with source measurements and during test beams (2001 and 2002)
• All the components of the MCM are ready, even if they are still
prototype versions
•The first bus with 10 chips was successfully tested
•The test system proved to be robust and extremely flexible
•Next step: test of a half stave on a dedicated board
