A SQUID controller unit for space-based TES sensor readout

We have developed a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) controller unit for Transition Edge Sensors (TES) readout, designed to be used in a space mission. The unit is made of 8 boards and each board can condition four SQUID array amplifiers. The board design is inspired by a similar...

Zusammenfassung:We have developed a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) controller unit for Transition Edge Sensors (TES) readout, designed to be used in a space mission. The unit is made of 8 boards and each board can condition four SQUID array amplifiers. The board design is inspired by a similar one developed for ground based experiments, but specific changes have been made to adopt Components Off The Shelf (COTS) with space grade equivalents, to implement redundancy and cross-strapping capabilities. The design also includes the thermal path to lift the heat off the boards towards an in-house designed monolithic aluminum rack.
