Katherine - Timepix3 readout
This device was developed in the cooperation between Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of West Bohemia and IEAP, CTU. It is based on technology designed by Medipix Collaboration at CERN.
Features
- Embedded computer + interface for one Timepix3 (CERN chipboard)
- Measuring ToT (energy) and ToA (time-stamping) simultaneously
- Time resolution 1.56ns; ToA overflow period ~20 days
- Optimized for long distance between sensor and readout (up to 100m)
- Source of high voltage for bias – both polarities (±300V)
- Gigabit Ethernet Interface - up to 16 million of events/s
- Dimensions: 100x80x28
Ecosystem
- Software tool for detector control and data taking (Windows platform)
- Simple SW tool for data taking (Windows, Linux, Mac)
- Synchronization board and TDC device for interconnection of more devices
- Radiation hardened chipboard
- Extenders for long distances
- Web-based visualization tool (J. Vycpalek from IEAP in Prague)
