\section{Converter Board}
+\subsection{General Setup}
\begin{itemize*}
- \item\question{One (final) converter board serves one ladder (whatever that means, e.g. 5)
+ \item\discuss{One (final) converter board serves one ladder (whatever that means, e.g. 5)
sensors and has its own JTAG chain} This removes both queue and termination boards.
\item Design of the converter board should be in a way to easily change the number of sensors,
i.e. all electronics should be modular, eithre independent for each sensor - or shared between all
\item For the telescope, the board should support two sensors.
\end{itemize*}
+\subsection{Features}
+\begin{itemize*}
+ \item Jumpers to bridge power supplies of both sensors to test running several sensors in
+parallel, at least for main voltages.
+ \item Additional sense line for ground on sensors. E.g. for temperature measurement
+ \item All converters switchable from FPGA - via SPI to reduce number of lines
+ \end{itemize*}
+
+
\subsection{Components}
\begin{itemize*}
\item ADC, about 1 MSPS. For all voltages and currents for each sensor.
+ \item Inductivities on power rails can be replaced by ferrite beads (less DC resistance, higher
+current, smaller form factor), e.g. BLM41 and similar.
\end{itemize*}
\section{Converter to Frontend Board}
+First iteration: \discuss{reuse old flex cables}, e.g. have both available cables (from converter
+and from queue board) in parallel or use two of the old cables. \discuss{Later, we can work on an
+optimized cable}:
\begin{itemize*}
\item Can use a thick, optimized flex cable
\item Should foresee to be fed into the vacuum vessel
