Gated Mode
•
Apply Clear On voltage at all DEPFET pixels
•
Switch Off the DEPFET
•
192 Switcher outputs in total
•
Four groups to (de)-activate the Gated Mode, each Switcher has 4 groups:
•
Each Switcher (de)-activate the Gated Mode for 8 gates simultaneously
Gated Mode w/o readout
Stop Readout
During gating there is no readout
Continue readout after gating
need to be in sync with offsets,
pedestals and machine => Fast
clocking
Gated Mode w/o readout
Fast
clocking to
get in sync
Gated Mode w/o readout
“Missing next frame” (Missing all frames
during the damping time of noisy
bunches (which prevent the sampling of
the SerIn signal)) problem
Switcher requires high clock for SerIn
Gated Mode w/o readout
Advantages
:
•
Can ramp up/down the Switcher groups with steps of 7.56 ns
•
Adjust the length of activating the GM in steps of 3.26 ns
•
Fast (de)-activation: 20 ns in theory for (de)-activation, and (90 ns) 75 ns are measured
Disadvantage(s)
:
•
Missing “next frame” problem / Missing all frames during the damping time of noisy bunches (which
prevent the sampling of the SerIn signal)

Summary and Outlook
•

Ideas to shift frame, increase frame time – need to consider system aspects
from DHE/DHP
•
Need to measure pedestal oscillation time
•
Testing procedures for GM mass testing to be evaluated if needed?
•
Wait after “mass testing”
