TOT Measurements

The plot below shows the average time over threshold (TOT) response to charge injection at the four shaping times. The chips were set for no skip for all four shaping times. The data were taken with HDI H1-13 (DFA D02B-8) after bonding to the silicon. The average TOT includes both sides (n and p) of the HDI, where the p-side Cal DAC was converted by subtracting it from 63. The threshold was set to 32 counts. The data were taken with a clock speed of 40 MHz with a divide by four. This means the pipeline was being filled at 10 MHz so one TOT count corresponds to 100 ns.

The TOT dynamic range is from 1 to 15 counts. One Cal DAC count corresponds to .48 fC of charge (from these chip parameters).
