Sep 15, 2005 Compact data acquisition and power supply system designed for hostile environment condition concerning radiation and magnetic field 2 Summary A compact data acquisition and power supply system housed in a water cooled special crate has been designed for the readout of the TOF (Time Of Flight) detector of the Alice experiment at CERN. The Crate contains a 12 slot VME64X bus that houses 2400 multi-hit 25ps TDC channels (TDC Readout Module: TRM), a local Trigger Module (LTM), a Clock Distribution Module (CPDM) and a Data Readout Manager (DRM board) with two optical links and Ethernet. The same crate hosts the branch controlled power supply modules for the VME boards and the TOF detector front-end modules. The whole system shall be used close to the TOF detector and will work under moderate radiation and intense magnetic field (1.2 Gy/10 years TID, 5 KGauss,). The TDC boards house TDC chips developed by CERN/ECP-MIC Division (HPTDC). Due to the radioactive environment, an accurate choice of components is required and the VME boards implement protections from Single Event Latch-up and from Single Event Upset.
