AbstraktAbstract
An integrated portable USB based readout interface for the ATLAS semiconductor trackers (SCT) is presented. The ATLAS SCT modules are large area silicon strip detectors designed for tracking of high-energy charged particles resulting in collisions on Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN. A custom made PC-host software tool was written for Windows platform for control and DAQ with build-in online visualization. The interface provides integrated power, control and DAQ and configurable communication between the detector module and the controlling PC. The interface is based on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and the high speed USB 2.0 standard. Utilization of the programmable device simplifies the operation and permits future expansion of the functionality without any hardware changes. The device includes the high voltage source for detector bias and it is equipped with number of devices for monitoring the operation and conditions of measurement (temperature, humidity, voltage).
