Abstract
Serial powering is the baseline choice for the upgrade of the CMS pixel detector for the High Luminosity LHC. The first results with the four-chip prototype pixel detector modules based on the demonstrator 65 nm CMOS technology RD53A chip are presented. The serially powered chain is operated at a constant supply current and the regulation is performed on-chip using a shunt low-dropout regulator (SLDO). Chips on each module are powered in parallel to prevent single-point failures. The SLDO behaviour in the system is presented as well as relevant differences in the behaviour compared to single chips. The noise levels are measured in pixels of a module in a serially powered chain and no increase is observed compared to a single module or the reported noise levels for a single chip.
