Power Requirements

There are two types of MCE subracks:

  • MCE72: contains up-to 10 cards and can read up to 32 columns. In the past, this also contained a power supply unit (PSU)
  • MCE48: contains up-to 7 cards and can read up to 16 columns.

The power requirements of typical subrack configurations are given below. To compute power and current requirements for a particular configuration, use: http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/mce/cgi-bin/power.cgi .

Configuration MCE48

Va− −6.2V 1.0A 2.3A
Vah2 10.0V — —
Total Power 50.1W 85.0W

1: Minimum Vcore supply for older version of cards can be as low as 2.5V, but newer RC and BC require minimum 3V see note. The numbers in this table assume a Vcore of 3V.
2: The 10V Vah supply is only used when Readout Card Rev. B (or older) or Bias Card Rev. D (or older) are present in the subrack. Vah was used to generate reference voltages for DACs.
3: When using mux11d squid chips, unused DACs on Address Card can be turned off and 1 Bias Card can be eliminated. This will amount to 10W of power savings.

For card specific power requirements, see MCE Card Specific Power Requirements

Connector & pinout

Full details can be found under Winchester connector, here: 48HP Front-Panel Power Connection

Note that the older 5-MDM SCUBA-2 style MCE had 2 Circular Amphenol connectors on the front panel of the linear feed card. Pinout is here: Amphenol pinout. The linear-feed card connects power from these circular connectors to the Winchester power connector on the back panel.

schematics for Winchester-Winchester cable to connect MCE to a Vicor supply is listed here: [1]

Powering up an MCE

There are different solutions for powering up an MCE. A straight-forward method for all ground-based experiments is to use linear supplies configured to satisfy the above requirements.

Vicor Switching Supplies (24V-in)

The MCE can alternatively be equipped with a 18–36Vin (24Vin nominal) switching supply designed for use in balloon-based experiments. It uses Vicor bricks. :See Vicor Power Supply

Linear Supplies

The set of linear supplies listed below (or similar supplies) are suitable.

Option 1

+Vcore IHC5-6/OVP (adjustable) 3V 5A
+Vlvd IHB5-3/OVP 4.5V 3A
+Va IHE5-18/OVP 6.2V 15A
−Va IHB5-3/OVP -6.2V 2A
+Vah1 IHA15-0.5 10V 0.1A

1: +Vah or 10V supply only used when Readout Card Rev. B or Bias Card Rev. D is present in a subrack.

Option 2

Linear Supply Assembly - obsolete
+Vcore Kepco JQE 6-22M (adjustable)
+Vlvd Power One HC5-6/OVP
+Va Kepco JQE 15-25M (adjustable)
−Va Kepco JQE 15-25M (adjustable)
+Vah1 Power One HAD15-0.4-A

1: +Vah or 10V supply only used when Readout Card Rev. B or Bias Card Rev. D is present in a subrack.

As a slightly out-of-date example, here is how we setup our linear supplies in the lab (for 1 MCE).

AC-powered Switching Supplies (obsolete)

A 3-MDM 48HP subrack powered by an external PSA (labelled PSU) attached to an ACDCU.

The MCE can be equipped with a switching supply (PSA) that is powered through a front-panel Amphenol connector that takes ±150V DC. The ±150V is generated by an external AC-DC Unit (ACDCU) that can reside far from the MCE. The ACDCU is designed and supplied by UBC.

The PSA is equipped with a controller card (PSUC) that allows monitoring voltage/current levels of the MCE by issuing a command from the MCE control PC. See psc_status.

This solution is obsolete and no longer in production. Ground-based experiments should use linear supplies. For balloon-based experiments, use the 24-V Vicor supply.
