[Halld-cal] Fwd: Resistor values for Bcal readout module

[Elton Smith]

Collaborators,

I am copying this e-mail from Jack McKisson to the mail list for 
reference as it defines the parameters for the final iteration of the 
readout boards. The new boards to check the final configuration are 
being built with these values.

Cheers, Elton.

I've recalculated the resistor values for the BCAL SiPM bias circuits based on the following parameters.

Production version 5.00 KΩ(25°C) 0.5% thermistors US Sensor 502JG2E
Vop = 1.15V above breakdown (Nominal Hamamatsu data sheet Vop value (averaged for 16 elements in array) + 0.250V)
Nominal steps preferred for Vsupply = 0.500V
Nominal operating temperature +5.0°C

The value of Rlin is unchanged
Rlin = 6.49K 0.1%

I was able to keep the value of R2 unchanged
R2 = 86.60KΩ 0.1%

R2 Trim values have changed:
R2A = 162 Ω 1%
R2A = 324 Ω 1%
R2A = 649 Ω 1%
R2A = 1.30 KΩ 1%

Values for the Rs trim are also unchanged from the first test set values*

RsA = 41.2 Ω 1%
RsA = 82.5 Ω 1%
RsA = 165 Ω 1%
RsA = 332 Ω 1%

The minimum Vsupply appears to be 74.500 V*
The maximum Vsupply appears to be 76.000 V*

*I am running these values against multiple SiPM sets to observe the set point error distribution. An adjustment of the Rs Trim values or of the Vsupply points may be required (+/- 0.3 V) to center that error distribution. While the Rs Trim values may change I believe that the R2 Trim values are now settled if the above parameters remain unchanged.
