基于ALTIROC2 ASIC的LGAD读出电子学设计

Design of LGAD Readout Electronics System Based on ALTIROC2 ASIC

  • 摘要: 低增益雪崩放大器(Low-Gain Avalanche Detector, LGAD)是一种新型半导体探测器,具有通道面积小和时间分辨能力高的优势,被选中应用于LHC (Large Hadron Collider)上大型粒子谱仪ATLAS的升级项目。为了充分发挥LGAD高颗粒度和高时间精度优势,需要设计一套多通道且高时间精度的读出电子学系统。目前ATLAS合作组已为LGAD读出开发出一款专用读出芯片ALTIROC(ATLAS LGAD Timing Integrated Readout Chip)。本文基于第二代的ALTIROC2 ASIC,设计了一套可拓展的多通道且高时间精度的LGAD读出电子学系统,并对读出系统的性能进行了测试。测试结果表明,基于ALTIROC2 ASIC的LGAD读出电子学系统的时间量化精度好于25 ps。数据传输速率达到400 Mbps,可以满足高事例率下系统为实现数据读出功能对数据传输速率的要求。

     

    Abstract: Low gain avalanche detector (LGAD) is a new type of semiconductor detector with the advantages of small channel area and high time precision. It has been selected for the upgrade project of the large particle spectrometer ATLAS on LHC (Large Hadron Collider). To fully leverage the intrinsic benefits of LGADs, a dedicated multi-channel readout electronics system with high timing precision is essential. In response to this requirement, the ATLAS Collaboration has developed the ALTIROC (ATLAS LGAD Timing Integrated ReadOut Chip) series of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).This work presents a scalable, multi-channel, high-precision readout system design for LGADs based on the second-generation ASIC—ALTIROC2, and the performance of this system was performed. The test results show that the time measurement precision of the LGAD readout electronics system based on ALTIROC2 ASIC is better than 25 ps, and a data rate of 400 Mbps is achieved, satisfying the data throughput requirements under high event rates.
