Focus:
A low-voltage power supply system using commercially available power supplies and adjustable linear regulators was developed to power the front-end electronics in the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) detector in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The system is designed to tolerate the radiation and magnetic fields present in the LHC experimental cavern. Following a discussion of the application's power requirements, a power system architecture is presented. It consists of bulk power supplies (WIENER's MARATON power system) and radiation-hardened adjustable linear regulators (members of STMicroelectronics' LHC(X)913 family). Design of the power system hardware and system control software are described in detail and test results are presented.
