Yamagaya Shohei Study about behavior of a prototype ASIC for the upgraded ATLAS pixel detectors with low thresholds Year-End-Meeting 2019/12/23 Shohei Yamagaya (Osaka univ.)

Introduction 2 ATLAS pixel detector will be upgraded for HL-LHC. New Pixel Detector • Total Size : 4cm × 4cm • Pixel Size : 50um × 50um • 4 ASICs with 1.28 Gbps readout • Prototype ASIC for the new pixel detector • Name : RD53A • Can judge if there is a hit or not • Can estimate amount of input charge • It has registers to configure its circuits. Year-End-Meeting Yamagaya Shohei 2019/12/23

ASIC 3 1 pixel of the sensor Register Front-End Global Pixel Circuit • Comparator with threshold • ADC (Time over Threshold) Threshold voltage HitMap, ADC value A threshold voltage is set by ASIC’s register values. • We have to tune them to set the threshold as we aim for. • All pixels should have similar thresholds after tuning.

Setup 6 • YARR : a project for rapid readout from ASIC (developed by LBNL) • It has an algorithms to tune each pixel’s threshold. • It will be also used for QA/QC test in mass-production. • Untuned pixels were counted for each target threshold. • Target threshold’s range : 0 ~ 2000 [e] 
 because pixel detector’s threshold will be 600 ~ 800[e]. Setup Adapter card PCIe Display

Untuned pixels 7 • Case : a threshold is different from target • That pixel’s individuality is too large for pixel register to tune it. • Too low -> pixel register (5bit) = maximum(15) • Too high -> pixel register = minimum(-15) • other Pixel Register’s value Dist.

Untuned pixels 8 • Measured Threshold = 0 ： divided into 2 types • The threshold measurement was failed. • Non responsive pixels After global tuning Initial state Noise floor Threshold Pixels below noise floor output nothing. Algorithm can’t tune such pixels to target threshold Non responsive pixels are predicted to increase with low target threshold. Year-End-Meeting Yamagaya Shohei 2019/12/23

(400 < target threshold < 800[e]). Year-End-Meeting Yamagaya Shohei 2019/12/23

Conclusion 11 • The ASIC for the new ATLAS pixel detector was tested about a threshold tuning of each pixel. • We found the ASIC satisfy the requirement for it. • The increase of non responsive pixels with low threshold was revealed for the first time. 
 And, they are dominant with a target threshold below 400 [e]. • This result will be a good benchmark for QA/QC tests in mass- production of the prototype ASIC and revised one. Year-End-Meeting Yamagaya Shohei 2019/12/23

Threshold scan 13 • YARR’s scan consists of the 4 functions.

Avoid “ non responsive " 14 • Before the tuning to target, the one to 800[e] was done. 
 -> This process can reduce non-responsive pixels Threshold Pixels with a threshold below noise floor are decreased! Threshold Noise floor Year-End-Meeting Yamagaya Shohei 2019/12/23
