-1- Current Telescope Strengths High resolution (~2.5um) Adaptability Ease of use – Currently borrowed by SPS collimator group Weaknesses Small number of Timepix assemblies available Scattering from PCB mount Low readout rate (1Hz) Large jitter on timing (500ns) Low rate for ToA measurements

-2- Future Timepix Telescope New Readout Timing Unit DUT+ readout New Readout Timing Signals collected by a timing unit provide flexible software synchronisation Telescope arms and timing unit read back to PC via Ethernet or USB 2.0 Target performance: 75,000 tracks per second 1um uncertainty at DUT 1ns timing accuracy Even more convenient…

-3- New ‘Single’ PCBs Data IO – Backward compatibility with current chipboards Serial IO – connecting boards as a ‘quad’ to be read out together Sensor Bias – moved to a more convenient place Sutter Output – An easy connector for monitoring and measuring the actual shutter signal On board voltage regulators to ensure stable operation Mounting Holes to accurately position chipboard Cutout behind chip to reduce scattering Chip positioning guides to ensure accurate mounting

-4- New Readouts - RELAXD high REsolution Large Area X-ray Detector Designed to tile large areas, currently PAN and NIKHEF flavors due to parallel FPGA development 150MHz frame rate 70k tracks per second ~15% active time Prototype presented at latest Medipix collaboration meeting
