HEPS-BPIX40 is an new hybrid pixel detector developed for the High Energy Photon Source in China. This detector represents a significant advancement from its predecessor, BPIX20, boasting a larger 128 x 96 pixel matrix and smaller 140 μm x 140 μm pixel size. The circuitry of HEPS-BPIX40 operates in single photon counting mode, incorporating dual thresholds and programmable gains for enhanced...
In recent years, DESY has diligently developed an open-source FPGA framework, known as FWK, aimed at expediting FPGA development within the scientific community, particularly with MicroTCA hardware. The framework serves as an abstraction layer that simplifies the utilization of various FPGA vendor tools, facilitates IP integration, aids in documentation creation, and offers many other...
Our ChimeraTK software framework allows rapid C++ development of servers interfacing or extending control applications. It abstracts details of hardware access, turning them into a matter of configuration, and provides immediate integration with FWK firmware framework. Modular libraries for hardware access by commonly used busses are included in ChimeraTK DeviceAccess, which features bindings...
This talk gives an overview of the firmware architecture of the new controller for astronomical detectors (NGCII) developed at ESO.
The modularity of MicroTCA is reflected in the firmware design to increase re-use and allow on-the-fly configuration to match the system components.
vario-optics is manufacturer of photonic boards based on integrated planar optical waveguides. The technology has reached a high maturity level and is more and more used within several applications. It is obvious that this technology can also be used within MicroTCA based systems, providing higher bandwidth and lower power consumption besides a significantly increased robustness within harsh...
