Overview |
|
The Mod. V965 is a 1-unit wide VME 6U module housing 16 Charge-to-Digital Conversion channels with current integrating negative inputs (50 Ohm impedance). For each channel, the input charge is converted to a voltage level by a QAC (Charge to Amplitude Conversion) section. Each QAC output is then converted by two ADCs in parallel; one ADC is preceded by a x1 gain stage, the other by a x8 gain stage: a dual input range is then featured: 0 ÷ 900 pC (200 fC LSB) and 0 ÷ 100 pC (25 fC LSB); this allows to avoid saturation with big charge pulses while increasing resolution with small ones.
The outputs of the QAC sections are multiplexed and subsequently converted by two fast 12-bit ADCs. The ADCs use a sliding scale technique to improve the differential non-linearity. Programmable zero suppression, multi-event buffer memory, trigger counter and test features complete the flexibility of the unit.
The module works in A24/A32 addressing mode; the data transfer occurs in D16/D32/BLT32/MBLT64. The module also supports the chained block transfer (CBLT32/CBLT64) and the multicast commands.
The board supports the live insertion that allows inserting or removing it into the crate without switching it off.
