All information tentative and provided for informational reasons.

No recent updates -- archival at this point (TARGET6 probably desired ASIC).

The initial CREAM TEA readout is based upon the first generation TARGET ASIC and TARGET (v1) Reference Documents (many related to TARGET_Eval board):
  1. Reference documents from 19-MAR-2010 conversation with Leonid:
    1. Estimated sampling rate from RCO scaling [xls]
    2. Reference sampling rate measurement using TSA [xls]
  2. TARGET data sheet  [PDF]
  3. Andrew Wong's [software page] which includes:
    1. Oct. 6, 2008 [software release]
    2. Sept. 24, 2008 (Rev. C) [firmware release]
    3. Aug. 27, 2007 [documentation release] 
  4. Larry's MCP_main Eval board design (Rev. C) [schematics]
  5. Latest (fairly old -- v.3) paper draft [PDF] [tex source] 
  6. Testing (as of paper v3) action items [list]
