# THHΘR Cosmic Ray Sensor

## Sensor

CHAOS Jr: HET BGO and 2× HETB. 
- BGO: 2 photodiodes × 2 gains = 4 channels
- HETB: 2 detector × 2 segments × 2 gains = 8 channels

## Electronics

- single 5…20V power supply
- 37 pin Omnetics Bilobe connector to the preamps board, A28200-037
- detector bias voltage, positive or negative
- 12 channel DORN readout, dual gain (with six preamps)
- with Beau-SK type preamps
- 10LC25 FPGA
- ATtiny824-XF 
- AT45B161E for FPGA bitfile and data
- 3.3V UART (optional RS485 half duplex) ifc to OBC
- optional HSS serial ifc/spacewire.
- optional MS5534 pressure sensor for balloon missions
