PS VFE & PS/SPD FE Electronics
Status and Plans
21 November 2007
LPC Clermont
PS/SPD FEB Production Status


Production & Tests finished:
112 PS/SPD FEB produced (including 2 prototypes)
100 installed
8 boards shipped back to Hitachi for reparations / returned to LPC /
in testing
Hard bug spotted on FE current limiters thresholds ( DL1 & DL2 ):
currents in FEPGA increases by 0.2-0.3 A when connecting VFE to
FE / whatever VFE/FE activity  current limit underestimated
current limit hard controlled by a resistor value / increased to max
value of 2 A ( nominal 1.6 A expected )

FEB Installation Status

All 100 FE boards patched for 2 A, ‘on flight’ in pit 8.
1+ week work for de-cabling / soldering / re-cabling

C side fully tested:
- New 2 A limit: All FE/VFE couples checked OK
- RJ45 cabling (VFE/FE ): 2 pathologic channels ( SM3 & SM4 Top) /
RJ45 cable or VFE side connection problem

A side testing ongoing …
- 25 % done ( PRS6 + ½ PRS5 )
- 1 dead VFE/FE contact / FE connector suspected PRS5-FE02
- Last board FE 106 installed last week / Tests required

VFE Sagita Issues

Sagita on back of VFE boards  lost of connection for CLOCK signal / Due to ?
- Stresses through VFE RJ45 cables / in detector movements
- ‘Natural’ relaxation of the VFE board / in time
VFE electronics
CLOCK
VFE connectors
RJ45
power
Schematics of VFE ( 2 boards + connectors): sagitta caused by ?

Statistics:
- C side: 7 / 50 VFE lost from may to July
2 / 50 VFE lost from July to September
2 / 50 VFE lost from September to November
- A side: 2 / 50 VFE lost from may to September
No loss from September to November

Marathon PSU Issues

Marathon power supply unit (PSU) PRS7 dead
- shortcut suspected @ 380 V connector @ Marathon side
(platform) / To be confirmed
- PSU returned for repair / Bldg 4. / No spare ? / How long ?

Pathologic channel 0 on Marathon VFE PSU / Both sides! /
Pending issue
- C side: SPD is concerned
- A side: PS is concerned
5
VFE Temperature Monitoring & Cooling

Monitoring of VFE temperatures functional (ELMBs / PVSS)
( degrees C / hours )
SM4-VFE05 / No cooling
All OFF

VFE ON
Neighbour VFE ON
Cooling installed !
- Water leakage alert on Sunday 11 November / But … the
cooling was turned off on Friday 9 ???
- To be commissioned

Prospects

Commissioning:
- Get to work with CROC V4 & final specs setup / DAQ tests
- VFE cooling stress tests
- Flash A side channels with LEDs

Calibration:
- Set internal Phasers FE/VFE for DAQ

Monitoring:
- FE/VFE connectivity / Periodic survey
Foreseen strategy:
1st Validate remote operation with CROC V4 in PRS0 / commission
cooling
This will allow automatisation of calibration & monitoring tasks
