1. Design summary Status of the development & production - test run with S3a and S3b prototype - performance tests To do list for production & development - ongoing production J. Schneider / 05.05.2009 / DEPFET workshop at Ringberg castle DEPFET power supply

2. Design summary: DEPFET power supply DEPFET Power supply for lab measurements & TB runs ! 20 individual supply channel high voltage supply module voltage and current measurement remote control via USB storage of all supply settings output card defines purpose two prototypes are available - one for the S3a system - one for the S3b system (CERN - DEPFET TB at SPS - 2008)

3. Channel configurations: DEPFET power supply 0 to +25 V @ 0 - 20 mA source/sink 0 to -25 V @ 0 - 20 mA source/sink +/-15 V @ 0 - 20 mA source/sink 0 to +25 V @ 0 - 300 mA source 0 to -25 V @ 0 - 300 mA sink 0 to +25 V @ 0 - 300 mA sink 0 to -25 V @ 0 - 300 mA source 0 to +10 V @ 0 - 800 mA source channel configuration is independent of the others even on the same module channels on same card share same GND channels on different cards are insulated from each other total output current of one quad supply module is limited to 300mA / 800mA OpAmp output stage (low current) Darlington output stage (high current)

4. Channel configurations (principle): DEPFET power supply OpAmp output stage (low current) Darlington output stage (high current) +-+- UoutDAC +-+- Uout DAC

5. Noise Distribution: mean = 12,17 ;  = 0,5 Common Mode:  = 16,3 DEPFET power supply Test run with S3a-System: (Contribution from Simone Esch, Bonn)

6. Noise Distribution: mean = ~14,5 Common Mode:  = ~16,8 DEPFET power supply Test run with S3b-System: (Contribution from Sergey Furletov, Bonn)

7. Resistive load response test: Channel config: OpAmp output Channel config: Darlington output - linear behavior till the OpAmp output protection clamps the voltage -> no regulation instability DEPFET power supply [mA][A] [V] - linear behavior - slope due to the resistive component of the conducting traces, connectors and cables to the measurement equipment -> no regulation instability

8. Capacitive load response test: -There is a need to do this test to see if regulation is stable -> we expect several capacitive loads on the hybrids -> The test with the DEPFET hybrids showed that the regulation is stable! but we do not know so far what is the safety margin DEPFET power supply

9. Load transient response for darlington output (high current) : 35mA transient (positive) 35mA transient (negative) -> no regulation instability -> no regulation instability

10. DEPFET power supply Noise measurement for darlington output (high current) : Conditions: 50 Ohm load 50 cm coaxial cable frequency band 160Hz – 58 MHz @ -3dB Result: -> max. 1,3mV RMS noise measured over hole frequency band

11. time scale Status of the development & production progress: DEPFET power supply Development steps and work packages: available prototype for S3a-System (CURO2/Switcher2) linearity / dynamic range / control deviation load tests (resistive, capacitive and dynamic) firmware debugging for the USB microcontroller performance tests S3a-prototype: stable operation with module adapting to the S3b-system - redesign hardware S3b-prototype: stable operation with module writing the application software S3b-prototype: final tests S3b series production finally 10 power supplies available for TB & lab measurements Sep. 2008 now Summer 2009

12. To do list for production & development : µC firmware needs still some extensions HV module is tested but not fully debugged capacitive load test -> more details some development in the control software for TestBeam issues series production of nine further supplies is ongoing -> backplanes -> quad cards -> HV modules -> output cards -> final assembly DEPFET power supply Hardware available: (for nine further P.S.) - cases - controller cards

13. DEPFET power supply... Questions so far?...... We are in time... for TB 2009 …
