INTRODUCTION: TileCal and Its Readout Electronics • 64 modules in barrel region • (r1=2.28M r2=4.23M L=5.64M) • 128 modules in extended regions • (r1=2.28M r2=4.23M L= 2.65M) • 256 electronics drawers (64x4) TileCal Interface Interface
INTRODUCTION: TileCal and Its Readout Electronics Each Electronics Drawer Contains Following Electronics Boards: • 45 PMT Blocks in barrel region • 31 PMT Blocks in extended regions • One Front-end Electronics 3-in-1 Card Per PMT Block • PMT High Voltage Boards • 3-in-1 Motherboard (4 sections) • 8 Trigger Summing Cards in barrel region • (Stacked on 3-in-1 Motherboard) • 6 Trigger Summing Cards in extended region. • (Stacked on 3-in-1 Motherboard) • 1 Source Calibration Card • (Stacked on 3-in-1 Motherboard) • 8 Digitizer Boards in barrel region • 6 Digitizer Boards in extended regions • 1 Interface Card • (Stacked on one of Digitizer Boards)
INTRODUCTION: Interface Location in Electronics Drawer • A total of 256 Interface cards needed (One per drawer) • Card dimensions: 189x100mm • Located near center of drawer • Receive TTC optical signals in electronics drawer for functional and timing controls • Convert to LVDS signals and distribute to 8 digitizer boards and 3-in-1 mother board • Transfer event data from digitizer boards to RODs • Input from 8 Digitizer Boards (from 16 Tile-DMU chips) • Output to off-detector ROD modules via G-link
INTERFACE DESIGN: Goals Goals: • Complete 2-fold redundancy to ROD. (except for LVDS receivers) • Avoid single point of failure for data from full drawer • Output data robust against transient SEE errors on link • TTC failure detection and automatic switch function • Interface automatic selects a TTC signal based on signal failure conditions
INTERFACE DESIGN: Goals (Cont.1) Goals: • Data Organizer • Collect data from 16 Tile-DMUs in parallel based on Tile-DMU output protocol • Repack 32-bit data words from scrambled data transferred over 2-bit LVDS data lines (40Mpbs) • Insensitive to timing differences related to digitizer board geometry • CRC-16 and Global CRC transmission error checks over input and output segments Altera EP20K160E
INTERFACE DESIGN: Goals (Cont.2) Goals: • Data Organizer • G-link protocol control logic. • 640Mbps output data rate (371Mbps required for TileCal @ 100Khz LVL1A rate) • Low Cost FPGA designs • Altera EP20K200E • On-board JTAG configuration port • Single 3.3V Power Supply Altera EP20K160E
INTERFACE DESIGN: TTC Receiver TTC Receiver Output Waveforms
INTERFACE DESIGN:G-link Optical Transmitter(Taiwan) max3288cue From G-link Serializer VCSEL Diode Serializer Output Waveforms
TEST RESULTS: System Readout Performance • Muon response for the 3 sampling depths (q=90o) • Pedestal Superimposed • Using “signal” from empty events • Width reflects energy algorithm as well as electronics • 10 digitizations for each measurement (not optimized) • Muon signal well resolved from pedestal
TEST RESULTS:Radiation Requirements • Interface located at z=160cm r=410cm
TEST RESULTS:Radiation Tests • Interface located at z=160cm r=410cm • All 3 studies showed Interface was fully operational under tests
Production Quality Control • Web Materials • Schematics, specification drawings, gerber, QC requirements, revision history etc. • Instructions to vendor (PCB and assembly) • Parts, artwork files provided by Chicago, vendor responsible for PCB fabrication and assembly • 5 trial boards based on full production setup • Burn-in test (power-up @65C for one week) • All functional and performance tests • Record to Database (Web accessible) • Others
Conclusions • Design is well suited to our needs • Performance and Radiation tests demonstrated well satisfactory • Mass production is being installed in TileCal
