Minutes of the Tracker Electronics Meeting 
Oct 23, 2000

Present: Robert, David, Ned, Dieter, Masa, and Wilko


1.	SEU cell; Ned: Ned stated he has about one hour of work left for all
four types of FF cells. Dieter asked if we have a center for all documents.
Robert stated that GLAST would have to have a documentation control center.
Robert will look into finding an area on the SCIPP server to put our official
versions and backups.
2.	Submission of test chip; Dieter: Dieter stated that he expects to
implement three varieties of the cells in the November 6th submission.  One
Tanner standard, one with substrate lifted, and one SEU with normal bulk
connection. Dieter will install as many registers as possible. Robert agreed
with this plan.
3.	GTFE layout;  Ned stated that he has
trouble doing place and route in case that global busses are in the standard cells.
He will keep them in the FF cells, nevertheless.
4.	 SEU testing. Robert stated we are a half a year from needing to
test upsets in a beam. Hartmut stated that our Italian collaborators have a
Van-d-Graph that could be used for heavy ion generation. Hartmut will start
talking with them now so they can be prepared for the tests.
5.	Valon's chip. Robert asked if the chip is ready for testing. Masa
reported that a student is setting up test system. May take a month.
6.	Schematic, Robert; Robert stated he made incorporated the Tanner standard 
logic cells for the command decoder, which is completed, although needs more 
simulation.  Ned stated he needs two more days for finishing up
moving Tanner standard cell schematics into Viewlogic.
7.	Schedule: David stated that it is being worked on.
