1. Michal Szelezniak – LBL-IPHC meeting – 14-18 May 2007 Prototype HFT readout system Telescope prototype based on three Mimostar2 chips

2. Michal Szelezniak - LBL-IPHC meeting - 14-18 May 2007 2 2 Outline Motivation for the prototype telescope Realization of the telescope – System architecture – Hardware – Firmware Calibration results for MimoStar2 chips Test results with 1.5 GeV electrons – Full-frame readout – Normal readout mode (data after cluster-finder)

3. Michal Szelezniak - LBL-IPHC meeting - 14-18 May 2007 3 3 Motivation for the telescope The telescope is a small prototype and contains all elements easily scalable to meet the requirements of the HFT test functionality of a prototype MIMOSTAR2 detector in the environment at STAR 2006-2007: Charged particle environment near the interaction region in STAR. The noise environment in the area in which we expect to put the final HFT. Performance of the MIMOSTAR2 sensors. Performance of our cluster finding algorithm. Performance of our hardware / firmware as a system. Functionality of our tested interfaces to the other STAR subsystems.

11. Michal Szelezniak - LBL-IPHC meeting - 14-18 May 2007 11 Firmware – Event builder DATA FORMAT header includes: 4 byte start tag 12 bit Token (from TCD) Mimostar position on ladder Each Trigger enables an empty Event FIFO for 1 frame (204,800 clocks = 4ms) with an offset to the enable that aligns the event start time with the location of the first pixel in the event. Each event FIFO is a separate trigger event stream and can be enabled independently. This allows events to be triggered at ~1 ms intervals with our 4 ms latency. Each sector event FIFO is emptied by the SIU at the end of it’s triggered frame. DONE & WORKING
