Other devices present in the setup:
• Manager “FIPMOBILE” SLC5 (on surface)
• FIPWatcher (on surface)
• Labview acquisition system (on surface)
3. Description of the test setup
The Manager dialogs with FIPDiag and compares sent value and received value every macrocycle, records both values with timestamp if different. If the FIPDiag doesn’t answer, the manager records timestamp with FIPDiag status. It tests also if identification variable is altered.

The dose rate is much higher than the one expected in the LHC tunnel. In fact,
lower dose rate values would make the test too long and, therefore unpractical.
One has to note that low dose rate enhances the degradation of analog
components. The test is run up to high dose (a few factor higher than the TID
expected in the LHC tunnel) in order to compensate the enhanced low dose
rate effect.

6. Observed failure modes
DUT id Failure id Description Recovery mode (reset, power cycle)
a a1 Current consumption goes up to 340mA,
make the 5v voltage down to 3.5v. Ok
after a manual power cycle. Seems like a
SEL on a component.
BEAM DUMP
Reset soft didn’t work
Power cycle OK
a a2 Com lost after a rise of the current.
Several soft reset and power cycles but
the card does not answer anymore. With
a test with a multimeter, the U7 was
blocked and delivered a permanent
reset.
BEAM DUMP
Reset soft didn’t work
Power cycle didn’t work
No recovery
c c1 Com lost during 101cycles (1.5sec) then
ok after the AntiLatchUp power cycle. .
Seems like a SEL on the MicroFIP (or
U17).
AntiLatchUp reset works. We do not
see the current increase but it must
be due to the slow logging
acquisition. The time of the com lost
(1.5sec) match exactly with reset
period, and the Vsupply was on.
c c2 A huge rise of the current drop down the
voltage. We tried to compensate the
drop of the voltage by increasing several
times the 11v supply. Then a lot of data
errors and com lost occurs with the
current at 700mA. At this time we think
that the AntiLatchUp reset doesn’t work
anymore.Looks like total dose effect, it
will be interesting to test it again after a
long rest. (MicroFIP + U17)

8. Other observations
To measure current, a resistance of 10 Ohm was on the surface. This choice was not
appropriate because of the unexpected transom, raise of the current observed, that
causes drops in voltage too great and does not guarantee the proper functioning of
the 5V regulator.
9. Conclusions The purpose of these tests was to identify which components of the module FIPDiag
benefit from being replaced for the new card NanoFIPDiag : FIPDiag with the chip NanoFIP in place of MicroFIP, now recognized as sensitive to radiation.
The results are quite good, a component U7 MAX809 has been identified as weak and will be replaced by passive components (see Amelioration fiabilite WorldFip
wfdc001.pdf) in the next design NanoFIPDiag. The MicroFIP held to about 90Gy, mean score but not alarming for a diagnostic
module. However it worked in standalone mode, its mode of operation as simple and with less memory. In addition, given the small number of observed events, it is
difficult to evaluate a cross-section, further testing would be needed in microcontroller mode.
