About the CLAWS Sensor PCB
CLAWS Sensor is an open source PCB design by burbschat, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80 × 30 mm, with 44 components from 17 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LP2985A-10DBVR and LMH6553MRE/NOPB. By type, the board carries 20 resistors, 11 capacitors, 8 test points, 2 ICs, 1 connector and 1 jumper.
It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
Simple SiPM/plastic scintillator based beam loss monitors
The sensors later have been re-purposed to detect beam loss and trigger a beam abort if there is too much of it. This application does not require very precise sensors. Further, opposed to the original design, now a larger dynamic range was desirable. To also allow for measurement of beam losses which occur for longer than a few microseconds, DC coupled analog electronics are required. The design published here was created to implement the required changes outlined above and create a system better suited to the current application at the SuperKEKB collider.
