These detectors are produced from individual, 320~$\mu$m thick, sensors. |
| 12 |
|
All silicon strip sensors are of the |
| 13 |
|
single-sided ``p-on-n'' type |
| 14 |
|
with integrated decoupling capacitors, aluminium readout strips |
| 15 |
|
and polysilicon bias resistors. |

|
Double-sided detectors are built by simply assembling two independent |
| 21 |
|
single-sided modules (``R-Phi'' and ``Stereo'') back to back. |
| 22 |
|
The double-sided TIB layers and TID rings are equipped with module |
| 23 |
|
sandwiches capable of a space point measurement and obtained by |
| 24 |
< |
coupling back-to-back a $r\phi$ module and a special ``stereo'' |
| 25 |

module with the sensor tilted by $100\mrad$. |

module with the sensor tilted by $100\mrad$ with respect to the other. |
| 26 |
|
The stereo sensor and electronics are identical to the R-Phi ones, the only |
| 27 |
|
difference being in the support mechanics and pitch adapters. \\ |

The multilayer kapton hybrid circuit holds the module front-end |
| 91 |
|
electronics consisting of four main components: the readout chips |
| 92 |
|
(APV25) and three ASICs (the Multiplexer, the PLL and the DCU). All |
| 93 |

devices are addressed and controlled by a I$^2$C serial bus.\\ |

devices are addressed and controlled by a I$^2$C serial bus~\cite{ref:i2c}.\\ |
| 94 |
|
The signals coming from each strip are processed by four or six front-end |
| 95 |
|
readout chips, connected to the silicon sensor strips by means of a glass |
| 96 |
|
substrate pitch-adapter. The APV25~\cite{ref:apv} |

pipeline address and the chip error status; two APV25 are multiplexed |
| 117 |
|
on a differential line by the Multiplexer chip~\cite{ref:mux}. |
| 118 |

In absence of data to stream out, for synchronization purposes, the |

steps, to |
| 123 |

compensate for path differences of control signals and for any |
| 124 |
|
electronics delay. The PLL also decodes the trigger signals that are |
| 125 |
|
encoded on the clock line.\\ |

The Detector Control Unit (DCU)~\cite{ref:dcu} contains an eight-channel ADC, |
| 127 |
|
two constant current sources and a temperature sensor. It |
| 128 |
|
monitors two sets of thermistors, one on the sensor |
| 129 |
|
and one on the hybrid, its own internal temperature, the |

The Analog-Opto Hybrids~\cite{ref:aoh} (AOH) performs the |
| 139 |
|
electrical-to-optical conversion of the electrical signals of the two |
| 140 |
|
or three APV25 pairs, depending on the module type, by means of |
| 141 |
< |
radiation hard lasers~\cite{Gill:2005ui}. There is one AOH |

radiation tolerant lasers and components\cite{ref:laserdriver}. |

There is one AOH |
| 143 |

per module, sitting on a ledge glued on the cooling pipe very close to |
| 144 |

the front-end hybrid. Multi-mode optical fibers~\cite{ref:opto} |
| 145 |

transport the signal to the counting room where the FEDs~\cite{ref:fed} |
