- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number 12405B20-99485 is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-83. This solicitation will be a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside. The associated NAICS code is 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers), with a small business size standard of 250 Employees. Specifications: With the following minimum specifications: STATEMENT OF WORK Summary Statement of Work � � 1. HARDWARE DESIGN � Custom motherboard compatible with a Vega board, with form factor, connector and mounting hole locations to match a Vega board. Power supply design, including switching and linear regulators, to power the board and provide +5V to the PMT. PMT control circuit design: 0 to +2.5V 16-bit voltage DAC, software controlled via I2C from the board. � � 2. FIRMWARE DESIGN � 80 MSPS sampling rate, RC tail pulse processing, and on-board USB communications (mini-USB connector). Allow custom spectrum sorting based on input GATE signal � 3. SOFTWARE DESIGN � Update Handel DLLs to support multi-spectrum readout from compatible board. Incorporate updated ProSpect sofware for multi-spectrum display, and add setting for PMT control voltage. � Draft Specifications � 1. Physical Board Size: 5.2� x� 2.632�. Analog input and detector control connectors are located at one end, and USB connector, input power, and digital I/O connectors are on the other end. Fixing locations same as a Vega board. Board thickness: 0.0625� nominal Maximum component height: Similar to a Vega board. 2. Connectors and Switch Detector Header: 6 pin shrouded header, compatible with a Molex part number 90136-1106. Pin Number Connection 1 +5V (PMT Tube power) 2 GND 3 No Connection 4 PMT HV Control voltage (0 � 2.5V) Note: 1V � 1kV on PMT 5 PMT Anode (signal input) 6 GND Alternate Detector Input: SMA (connects directly to PMT anode signal) USB: mini-USB connector Logic I/O: LEMO Type 00 connectors, right angle. Used for GATE and SYNC inputs. Power Input Jack: Switchcraft RAPC722 or equivalent Power Switch: compatible with NKK 633-G22AV SPDT 3. Power Requirements 6V, 2 Amps. Compatible power supply: CUI Model EPAS-101W-06 +/-5V analog, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V generated onboard. 4. Analog Input Impedance: 50 Ohm for PMT input. Gain: Software controlled variable gain ranging from 1.22 to 23.04. Circuit is designed to accept positive or negative pulses. Offset: 16-bit DAC can compensate for a DC offset between -2.2V and +2.2V ADC Input Range: 2.2V, differential. DC Input Range: Similar to a Vega board. 5. ADC and Digital Circuitry 14-bits, 80 MHz Digital filters, peak detection, pileup inspection implemented in circuitry compatible with �in Xilinx Spartan6 FPGA MCA implemented in Analog Devices compatible with ADSP2185M USB2 interface implemented with Cypress FX2 compatible Microcontroller. Maximum burst transfer rate is approximately 16 MB/sec. 6. MCA Features Supports two 2k channel (up to 4K) MCA spectra Three byte word depth (up to 2^24 counts per channel) The digital GATE signal determines which spectrum is filled. GATE = LOW � NonGated spectrum, GATE � HIGH, Gated spectrum. Separate statistics are stored for each spectrum, allowing for separate pileup correction. Usage The Vega replacement can be used with any detector that produces a voltage or current pulse with an RC-decay. The analog gain is software adjustable Delivery must state door to door to the following address: USDA, ARS, SDRU 411 South Donahue Drive Auburn, AL 36832 Additionally, delivery costs to the above location must be annotated in proposal.
