1 Purpose

 

This document describes the requirements of the science detector wiring inside the NIFS cryostat. The science detector wiring consists of the detector mounting socket and the detector mounting board, wiring from the detector mounting board through to the external hermetic connector mounted in the cryostat wall. It does not include the external wiring from hermetic connector to the detector controller.

3 Introduction

 

The science detector wiring provides the components to safely mount the science detector and to conduct signals from the detector to the external wall of the cryostat.

 

4 Science Detector Wiring Requirements

 

The following section details the capability requirements for the science detector wiring.

 

4.1 Capabilities

 

4.1.1 Down Time

 

The NIFS system down time should be less than 1%. Down time of the science detector wiring should be only a small fraction of this value. This requires the selection of high reliability components and the adherence to high reliable construction, handling and assembly techniques.

 

4.1.2 Minimise Detector Damage

 

The science detector wiring should be designed so as to minimize damage to the detector. The mounting and dismounting of the detector should be made as easy and as safe as possible so as to avoid damage or deterioration to the detector.

 

4.1.3 Antistatic Protection

 

The detector is very sensitive to static damage. Techniques to provide antistatic protection to the detector during assembly, operating and instrument storage should be designed.

 

4.1.4 Readout Time

 

The science detector wiring should enable the detector to be read out in less than 5 seconds.

 

4.1.5 Heat Load

 

Science detector wiring should have a heat load on the cooling system of TBD.

 

4.1.6 External Wall Connector

 

The connector through the external wall of the cryostat has to maintain the high vacuum inside the cryostat. The connector should be of a good quality hermetic type.

 

4.1.7 Number of Signals

 

The science detector wiring should provide enough wires to drive the science detector in any foreseeable configuration.

 

4.1.8 Ease of Assembly

 

The science detector wiring should enable the Dewar and its components to be easily assembled and disassembled.

 

4.1.9 HAWAII-2 Detector

 

The science detector wiring should interface to a HAWAII-2 detector.

 

4.1.10 High Vacuum

 

The cryostat has to maintain a vacuum of less than 10-5 Torr at operational temperatures. Science detector wiring should have sufficient low outgassing so as to maintain this high vacuum.

 

4.1.11 Temperature

 

The science detector wiring has to operate over a wide range of temperatures from room temperature (300 K) down to 60 K, the lowest temperature the detector will need to operate. The science detector wiring must also withstand temperature cycling between these two temperatures at a maximum rate of 1 K/minute. The science detector wiring shall be capable of surviving a temperature range of -20 to +50 C without damage. It shall also be capable of withstanding without damage a temperature range of -20 to +50 C during transport without damage.

 

4.1.12 Focuser Movement

 

The science detector wiring must be flexible enough to allow focuser movement of TBD mm.

 

4.1.13 Detector Cooling

 

The science detector wiring must allow the detector to be cooled and temperature stabilized to within ±0.1 K over the range of 60 K to 90 K.

 

4.1.14 Readout Noise

 

The science detector wiring should be designed to minimize read noise and should not add a significant part to the total read noise.

 

4.1.15 Cross Talk

 

The science detector wiring should be designed to minimize cross talk.

 

4.1.16 Grounding

 

The science detector wiring should be designed to reduce ground loops, provide shielding against EMI radiation and should fit in with the general instrument-grounding scheme.

 

4.1.17 Mechanical Environment

 

The science detector wiring shall be capable of withstanding all telescope orientations, and telescope slew rates of 2° per second in azimuth and 0.75° per second in elevation, or any combination of these along with rotation of the Cassegrain rotator.

 

4.2 External Interfaces

 

There are no external interfaces.

 

4.3 Internal Interfaces

 

The following internal interfaces exists.

 

·         Detector Controller Wiring Connector - This interface to the detector controller provides the control signals to drive the science detector.

·         Science Detector - This interface is the electrical and mechanical interface to the science detector.

·         Cryostat interface - This interface is the mechanical interface to mount the detector wiring.

 

4.4 Safety Requirements

 

The safety of the science detector is paramount. Extreme care should be taken in the design so as to minimize damage to the detector. The mounting and dismounting of the detector should be made as easy and as safe as possible so as to avoid damage or deterioration to the detector. The detector should be protected from static damage.

 

4.5 Requirements Traceability
