essence to have a complete functioning prototype of the digital design before
submission.
A high-speed data acquisition system was developed to enable test and verification of the produced devices. It has been used in all facets of qualification of the
device for use by the detectors.
Three rounds of prototypes have been produced and tested. Only minor modifications to the digital design were added between the second and third prototypes.
The final production of about 80,000 devices has been completed with the same
design as for the third prototype. No major issues have been found in the final
design.
The design and test features implemented in the design have been utilized in the
production testing and a final yield of close to 80% have been reached.
