ABCn/Module Readout Summary
Recently discussions associated with the readout of Silicon Strip modules
have led to the adoption of a two ASIC hierarchical approach:
•
•
ABCn objectives will be scaled back. Improvements in data storage
/ buffering, new commands will be retained as well as housing an all
CMOS front end readout. It will be backwards compatible or very
similar to ABCD, intended primarily to implement module level
improvements for SLHC. It will be developed on a fast track utilizing
all institutional available resources, offloading more contentious
issues of module to stave level readout and module level DCS to a
second ASIC.
A Module Controller chip will be developed over a longer time
frame to address issues associated with module to stave
communication and serial powering.
Data transfer within a module is not finally optimized. This scheme
provides an ASIC suitable module development while data transfer
options are explored and finalized.

Addresses issues at appropriate
hierarchial level.
- PLL/DLL clock/data phase
- Logic Interface reduces logic
loading: AC coupling/ Balanced enc.
- Establish CLK/CMD phasing
once per module.
- Temp/Voltage Readback??
- Module Level power Regulator?

Simplified ABCn submission
- No PLL/DLL
- No Clock phase decoding
-DRV/Rcvr’s DC coupled
-Minimize # first time blocks in ABCn
-Lower risk of missing submission schedule.
-Lower complexity  Higher yield
-Can be made Backwards compatible

Two ASIC Hierarchical Approach
ASIC #1 ABCn (fast track 0.25um Design)
• Sensor signal processing (CMOS for now )
• L1 data sparsification / BC association
• Sufficient Buffer depth for data syncronization
• Backwards (ABCD) compatible
• Reduced power over ABCD 2.5  1.9mW/ch
• On board Regulators
• Compatible with Serial powering
• ?Constant power?

Fast Clock Generation 40MHz BC  40/80/160MHz
DCS functionality : temp / voltage
Serial Power ?
This kind of organization has been mentioned previously:
In Alex Grillo’s Oct ‘05 note this is the Com Con chip.
Philippe Farthouat presented it as a possibility in an/the Inner tracker upgrade proposal

Penn SCT Module Readout Effort
ABCn
• I/O: Low level, Low Power Drivers/Rcvrs
• Clock off (constant) Power Shunt
• Power / Speed / Layout tradeoffs in clock rate and
encoded clock schemes (130nm ABCn)
• Extracted Simulation / Verification

AC compatible Drivers / Rcvrs
DCS interface temp/voltage meas. (similar to DTMROC)
ASIC assy / Floor planning with Manhattan Routing
**Significant effort on PLL/DLL (originally for ABCn) already in FY07
