3.1.1 Technical Info

Power consumption

The following values have been measured by CAEN on the V2718:
Supply voltagecurrentremark
5V1Aongoing data transfers
5V0.8Ano VME activity
-12V150mAAll Lemo outputs configured for NIM and driving
-12V40mALemo outputs inactive or configured for TTL levels
12V0mAConnected but not used.

The 9U solution

  • The majority of the VMEControllers in CMS will be housed in 9U crates. CAEN will provide us with a solution to put the Controller in a 9U crate. A prototype of the adapter has been tested by CMS and is found to work satisfactory.
  • It will NOT be possible to adapt 6U modules to the 9U version.
