  6. Mechanical constraints (2) 28.7 192.4 130 167 128 Considering all dimensions we have a really limited space available (in thickness) for the EC board (4-5 mm) + frame: ~ 12 mm  Can not have 3 PCBs (like PMF) MAPMT Journees VLSI/PCB/FPGA/Outils - Session PCB - Pierre Barrillon - LAL

  7. Starting point: EC board dimensions • 52.5 mmx 52.5 mm (frame: 55 x 55) Hole dedicated to the rod used for fixing Frame (drawings from INFN Frascati) LAL drawing for EC board Journees VLSI/PCB/FPGA/Outils - Session PCB - Pierre Barrillon - LAL

  9. EC board design considered • Single thick PCB since 3 PCB-like is not possible because of space constraint • Readout ASIC in a BGA package mounted on the other side of the PCB • BGA looks like a good solution considering the tight space constraints • BGA should be chosen considering the foreseen (higher estimation) number of I/O and the space available • MAPMT pins inserted in the PCB into non-crossing holtites • 1 connector would bring all signals (14) needed by the MAPMT • 2 connectors (60 pins foreseen) would bring power to the ASIC and collect output signals • Easier to drive the signals to/from the 4 ASICs • Good connection reliability Journees VLSI/PCB/FPGA/Outils - Session PCB - Pierre Barrillon - LAL

  10. BGA 144 pins BGA (13 x 13 mm) 1 mm step 2 ways to connect the chip inside BGA • Number of pins should be enough considering similar ASICs • Dimensions are reasonable and give more space to locate the connectors R. Sliwa Journees VLSI/PCB/FPGA/Outils - Session PCB - Pierre Barrillon - LAL

  13. MAPMT print + bottom view Some of the pins (HV) are really close to the edges, we would need more space rotated x 4 and located in the considered design of the EC board 0.5 mm is the minimum distance between hole and edge of PCB HV instability with PDM frame ? 8 pins would be on the edges… but only 2 could be used  little modification of the frame design Journees VLSI/PCB/FPGA/Outils - Session PCB - Pierre Barrillon - LAL

  15. Conclusion • First steps of EC board design: • Feasibility • non crossing holtites  only one company (pretend to) do it in France • chip in BGA • Dimensions taking into account: • MAPMT dimensions • BGA size • location for connectors • Some needs (length of PMT pins and size of the PCB) • Many other steps to come • single thick PCB (can mean large vias), ok for space ? … • This is a very innovative concept and challenging project. We don't have the experience return with this technology (thick PCB and non-crossing holtites) • We will need to try several options starting with a mockup version that would be useful to check feasibility mechanically and electronically (money expected to develop these various prototypes) • It looks like the only option that fits the JEM-EUSO space and spatial constraints and probably reliability • First adaptations of the EC frame have been applied following our comments Journees VLSI/PCB/FPGA/Outils - Session PCB - Pierre Barrillon - LAL

PMF structure MAROC side Lattice side HV board Passive board Active board • The PCB part of the PMF is made of 3 boards (3 × 3 cm2) : • HV board: allows bringing high voltage to the MAPMT (64ch) • Passive board: roots signals to connectors on the edges of the board • Active board: readout and treatment of the PM output signals successively by the MAROC2 ASIC on one side and a Lattice FPGA on the other side. • A 60 points connector allows connection of the PMF with the mother board or the test board thanks to a kapton cable. • The 3 PCBs, the cable and the test board were developed at LAL, the mother board and the Lattice firmware at CERN.
