Title: UGelectronics Update
1UG-electronics Update
- Feb. 5th 2008
- A.Bartoloni, B.Borgia, F.Spada
2UG-electronics in the TRD Gas System
3QM design
- Design of control electronics from EM to QM
updated after test session in August 2004 - Contract issued to GA Engineering for
construction and qualification of QM and FM UG
electronics ? February 2005 - Radiation test of few components performed at
Karlsruhe, under the supervision of Andrei
Kounine, May 2005 - Further modifications were introduced because of
gas circuit changes, e.g. 24V to 30V
4EM ? QM
- Change power supply 24V?30V (supply for Kulite,
Marotta valves, pumps, heaters) - Pumps power supply 12V directly from DC-DC
converter, 24V with step-down circuit 30V?24V. - Heaters x CO2, Xe vessels on/off switches
identical to Marotta valves switches - Added Kulite gauges
- Dallas T sensors replacing GP-50 T n. 2
dedicated links to USCM
- Safest valves operation in magnetic field
- Pumps variable load
- Need to control vessel temperature
- Need pressure measurement reliability
- Add temperature measurements
No basic circuit was modified, i.e. ADC,
switches, serial link QM FUNCTIONALITY TEST JULY
2006
5Components
- TIM January 2007 questioned several elements in
components list - Kounine revised the components list and marked
the following ones - TPS73xx on AMS component list marked as
NON-FLIGHT - SUB85N10-10 not on AMS part list
- HI-508 not on AMS part list
- AD620BR not on AMS part list
- GA provided documents on rad test. The only
remaining non flight was TPS73xx - TPS73XX can be replaced by LP2989, latch free.
- LP2989 is not pin to pin compatible, therefore
needs a new layout and a new PCB
6QM to QM2..
- Following the change of linear regulators
TPS73xx, of power distribution scheme and several
changes required by safest operations (short
circuits on cables or components), - we had to design new QM UGxx boards with
following major modifications - replace the TPSxxxx regulators with SEL free
LP2989 (UGBS, UGBC, UGFV) - put limiting resistor on Kulites and GP50 power
supply lines (UGBS, UGBC) - separate 12V power supply for UGPS and flipper
valve (UGFV) - introduce LP2953 regulator to generate 24V for
pumps high speed (UGBP) - introduce LP2953 regulator to generate 21V for
analog mux (UGBP) - eliminate 3.3V DC-DC converter ?generate 3.3V
from 5V on backplane - introduce Solid State Fuses (SSF) for short
circuit protection on 5V, on each module - introduce pull-down resistors on Mosfet gates
- introduce differential amplifier on Kulite inputs
- eliminate UHVG (?redesign of backplane)
- eliminate 2 UGFV and reduce 8 multiple channels
to 4 (?redesign of pcb)
7UGxx specifications
- First draft v 1.4 (26/02/02)
- Draft after EM test v 3.6 (17/05/05)
- Last draft v 4.2 (26/06/06)
- In preparation v 5.0 (2008)

11UG-electronics Status
- UGPS FM ready, tested, installed
- QM1 UG-electronics currently used for Gas System
tests - UG slow-control software and user interface used
successfully on QM1 and QM2 UG-electronics - QM2 UG-electronics under functionality test
- QM2 UG-electronics qualification scheduled at
SERMS on feb 11th - UGPD (A. Koulemzine) crate integration with QM2
boards done - UGPD QM2 waits for test window
12Qualification and acceptance tests
Guidelines for the qualification and acceptance
tests of the AMS-02 electronics (Notes compiled
by G. Ambrosi for the AMS-02 Sub Detector
Electronic group, September 28th 2005. Feedback,
comments and corrections are welcome.) In this
short report are summarized the guidelines for
the definition of the qualification and
acceptance procedure to be implemented for all
the box electronics of the AMS--02 experiment.
The information and specifications reported are
derived from the discussions within the
Sub-Detector Electronics group, from the
indications of the CSIST people and from the
experience gained with the test of J/JT/JPD
crate. The guidelines reported here do apply to
the following hardware (for the detailed
nomenclature and list look in the Flight Design
) U- , T- , S- , E- ,J- , JT- ,TT- , UG- , M-
crate UPD, TPD, TSPD, ERPD, JPD, UGPD, TMPD,SHV,
RHV, EHV As a general rule no design
modifications are allowed between the QM and
FM/FS.
