Bogdan Hoanca has designed and fabricated a receiver array intended for printed circuit board integration with MSM detectors. These receivers have been tested and found to be operational at 2 MHz (limited by our clocking circuitry). The documentation (in pdf format) will be updated as further testing continues.
The receivers are packaged in the MOSIS PGA108M PGA package (follow the link to get the package information).
For questions please contact Bodgan Hoanca (hoanca@biron.usc.edu) or Charles Kuznia (kuznia@sipi.usc.edu).
Below is a photo of the PCB for testing the receviers. The top chip is a MSM/VCSEL chip fabricated by Honeywell. The bottom chip is the USC designed receiver chip.
