Tracking Preamp phone meeting proposal
Hall D Electronics:
Hi Everyone,
It would be very usefull if all people involved in the testing and use of
the first batch of prototype ASICs could get together for a phone meeting
preferably on this Wednesday 16 May. If you wish to join in please give your
availability or alternate possibilities.
The ASICs are expected from MOSIS June 20.
We will stick with the OCQFN package for the prototype runs.
Test socket for this package from E-tec is $ 680 for 1 or $ 510 for 2
delivery 4-5 weeks
We would preferr to test all the ASICs before installation on daughterboard
cards.
