Design of APV25 digitization system for MPGD based on Spartan-6

  • 摘要: 为满足微结构气体探测器多通道信号高速读出的需求,文章基于现场可编程门阵列(FPGA) Spartan-6设计了128通道前置放大芯片APV25的数字化系统。该系统中,APV25输出的串行模拟信号经模/数转换芯片ADS5242进行模/数转换,由Spartan-6接收、解串、缓冲和打包后,经千兆以太网传送至计算机进行存储和分析。经测试,该系统可实现APV25的最大采样速率280 kHz,基线噪声低至716 e-。输入电荷量低于75 000 e-时,电荷响应线性良好。由于APV25的抗辐射特性,该系统有望用于空间多通道辐射探测系统。

     

    Abstract: To meet the demand of high-speed readout of multi-channel signals from micro pattern gas detectors, a digitization system is designed for the 128-channel preamplifier chip APV25 based on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) Spartan-6. In this system, the serial analog signal output by the APV25 is digitized by the analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) chip ADS5242. After the serial-to-parallel conversion by the Spartan-6, the data are acquired, buffered and packaged to the user datagram, and then sent to the computer via the gigabit ethernet for storage and analysis. In the test, the system reaches a maximum sampling rate of 280 kHz for the APV25, and the pedestal noise is as low as 716 electrons. The linearity of the charge response is good when the input amount of charge is less than 75 000 electrons. This system is expected to be used in the multi-channel radiation detection system in space thanks to the radiation tolerance of the APV25.
