Abstract
The Electronics system of experiments for the study of rare decays, such as the neutrino-less double beta decay, must be very stable over very long expected runs. We introduce our solution for the power supply of such an experiment, CUORE. In this case the power supply chain consists of a series of ACDCs, followed by DCDCs and then Linear Regulators. We emphasize here our approach to the DCDC regulation system that was designed with a complete rejection of the switching noise, across 100 MHz bandwidth. In the experimental layout the DCDC will be located far from the very front-end, with long connecting cables (10 m). We introduced our very simple and safe solution to prevent huge over-voltages, due to the energy stored in the inductance of the cables, generated after the release of accidental short circuits, so avoiding destructive effects. Some micro-controllers are present on every board and take care of the DCDC operation. These micro-controllers are managed from the control room, via CAN BUS protocol coupled via optical fibres. CUORE is an array of 1000 cryogenic detectors that will need 30 of our DCDCs.
