  • A picture of the CSMUX card that can handle 18 CPC or Datimizer inputs. This card allows us to test the MROD-1 with real data from the BOL test stand.

  • The AMT chip is a 24 channel TDC for the MDTs of the ATLAS Muon spectrometer. The AMT-3, AMT-2, AMT-1 and AMT-0 chips are based on the (CERN) TDC32 and they are being designed at KEK in Japan by Yasuo Arai. Here one may find the original AMT documents.
    Here is a copy of the AMT-3 user manual and the AMT-3 data sheet .
    Here is a copy of the AMT-1 and AMT-2 user manual (V0.92b) and the AMT-2 data sheet (V0.31) .
    • Old documents still available:
  • A LHC clock phase calibration system for the MDT electronics (NIKHEF, June 1998).
