VFAT readout Block Diagram
A VFAT board from CERN is evaluated for use as a readout board to convert the GEM output analog signal to a digital signal.
VFAT Board specifications
signals
LVDA signals
I2C signals
Breakout box specs (preliminary)
- 6 inputs for ~1m ribbon cables from VFAT modules
- 3-bit DIP switch to select I2C address range for each VFAT
- Soft reset for each VFAT controlled via I2C expander chip
- Shared hard reset line from Gumstix
- Scan Mode switch
- ScanIn connector (cascaded)
- ScanOut connector (cascaded)
- RJ45 port to gumstix box containing I2C and other signals:
- Power (3.3 or 2.5V)
- Ground
- SDA
- SCL
- Hard Reset
- Extra line for Link detection
- 34 pin ribbon connector for LVDS signals
- LEMO connector for LVDS trigger input
- LEMO connector for LVDS Master Clock
- I2C expander(s) for status LEDs (socketed)
- Status LEDs:
- Power (from I2C line)
- I2C connect (flashing through I2C expand)
- Power for each VFAT (feedback through common pins on VFAT board?)
- Hard Reset LED
- Clear UpsetReg (SEU counter) via I2C expand

The PC board-mount socket for the cable is ERNI 154765 for reel or ERNI 063197 for tube packaging.
The cable crimp-ons are ERNI 024403 or premade cables 300mm long are ERNI 173795
