BGO channel (bgo_channel_[0-2])

There are 3 BGO channels, each interfacing one PMT. Each BGO channel is hosting an own FIFO to store the event data. The readout of the fifos is controlled by the MUX block.

PMT interface

PMT = photo multiplyer tube

Taks: collects the ADC data from the detector, creates science data packets (SCDP) ans stores the data in a fifo. tasks included: lowpass filter, offset correction, tail estimation, shaping, peak detect, trigger & control.

mov_avrg and mov_avrg8

moving avarage.

is a type of finite impulse response filter used to analyze a set of data points by creating a series of averages of different subsets of the full data set. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average)

tailgen

pulse tail cancellation in order to reduction of systems dead time. several filters.

two separate tail estimation filters are used to enable tail cancellation of several consecutive pule tails. they will be used alternately, outputs are summed.


find document "BGO extention" written by yngve for further details.

tailgen_ctrl

is a fsm. selcting a trigger? output= 'tg_sel' being 0 or 1

Address decoder (adrdec_bgo)

memory bus address decoder and data multiplexor

  • decodes the memory_address_in (memadr_in) and delivers data to called modules (pm_if_0, pm_if_1, pm_if_2, tmon or binctrl)
  • the module_base address (e.g. tmon_base) is defined in the mxgs_bgo_pk package.
  • delivers answer (memdat, memory data) from modules


input:

  • memadr_in (from dpu_if/user)
  • memdat_out_[0-4] (from modules)
  • clk etc.

output:

  • memadr_out (to modules)
  • di_memdat_in (to dpu_if)

Binning control module (BCM) (bin_ctrl_module)

the BCM generates a 2D table out of SCDP coming from the pmt_if. the table includes temporal and spectral bins. time and energy value from the SCDP are analysed and assigned to a temporal and spectral bin. that binvalue then will be incremented.

there are lower and higher bondaries for the spectral bin value. if the energy value in the SCDP is outside that boundaries it will be discarded. the spectral boundaries are configurable via the mb_if. -> some kind of filter

temperature monitor

General description : This module is designed to control an analog mux and an ADC to capture values from three different analog sources, in this case termistor values for temperature meseurements.

This module connects to the standard internal bus interface in the CZT/BGO firmware. It controls an external analog MUX and an ADC to sample three analog values representing temperatures. when the ADC data in a channel passes a certain limit an alarm is set. the limit is set by the user in the interface via the control register (mb_if)
