Progress since 2002 • UXC55 electronics: • progress in the Link System prototypes and design. Now entering preparation of production phase. • Firming up of the LB boxes installation plans. • USC55 electronics: • progress in PAC algorithms and FPGA implementation of 4/6 plane algorithms, • VHDL codes for many components (sorters, GhostBusters) developed and tested, • New SorterCrate architecture • Overall organization of the project • New division of tasks between Bari/ Lappeenranta/ Warsaw Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
2.1 UXC55 electronics: progress in the Link System Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
UXC55 electronicsSummary of progress in the Link system • Link Board + Control Board + Optical Link: prototypes successfully tested in the LHC-like beam in May 2003 • Monitoring of the RPC performance and test pulses – successfully tested as well. • Powerful diagnostic tools installed on the LB • Setting up of the RPC FEB parameters via I2C still to be tested. • Radiation tests of FPGAs and FLASH memories • Reloading of FPGAs on the LB every 4-10 minutes is sufficient • Safety aspects of DCS:progress since ESR • Integration and installation issues: constant progress Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
LB functionalities Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
LB RE1/1 prototype 2003 Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Tested functionalities of Link System • Synchronization of signals from chambers • Histogram of signals in synchronization window • Histogram of all signals from chambers • Histogram “bx history” • “Snapshots” • Test pulses • TTCrx signals distribution • LB FPGAs loading from CB • CCU and VME interfaces Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Beam testsHistograms The muon beam profile During the tests two RPCs were connected to one LB The „bx history” histogram - train of 48 bx’s with muons Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Beam testsSnapshots Bx RB1 Channel RB2 Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Conclusions from the LB system tests in May 2003 The histograms and snapshots work well and have proved their usefulness in testing the performance of chambers. TTCrx signals distribution, test pulses and FPGA loading work well. Optical link will be tested as soon as the quartz for the PLL is available Problems with CCU block transfer and I2C control of FEBs Solved by now Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Measured SEU ratecaclulated SEU rate for the LB FPGAs • For the 72 RE11 LB with 72 FPGAs: • 7 SEU/1 h/ 72 FPGAs • For the remaining 1578 LB not at RE11 (with 1578 FPGAs): • 12.6 SEU/ 1h/ 1578 FPGAs Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Conclusions of 2002 and 2003 radiation tests in Jyvaskyla Xilinx Spartan-IIE chips have small enough SEU in configuration bits Dynamic SEU are much less probable then SEU in configuration bits Reloading of the FPGAs every 10 minutes should guarantee that at most a few SEUs will be accumulated in all LBs FPGAs, what should not affect the system performance FLASH memories are resistant enough to radiation and will be used on final Control Boards More details http://hep.fuw.edu.pl/cms/esr/docs/RadiationTests.pdf Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003

3. Cost, schedule and milestones Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
New division of responsibilities in the PACT group Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
COST • We are revising the PACT CORE cost estimate. • At present, the CORE costs are 3750 kCHF, while our starting estimate in 1997 was 3695 kCHF. • This cost estimate is for the full trigger system up to eta=2.1 but without RE5. Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
COST contd. • Financing: • Finland 1020 kCHF • Poland 2060 kCHF • Bari 100 kCHF • TOTAL 3180 kCHF • + Korea 400 kCHF ? Almost enough for up to eta=1.6 Conclusion: either design a cheaper system or stage and hope for extra funding. Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
COST contd. • Main cost uncertainties/ drivers: • PAC FPGAs – assumed 300 CHF/pc, total amount for PAC FPGA 345 kCHF, • present cost of Stratix ALTERAs are higher but we expect them to fall to 300 CHF by 2005 when we have to buy them. • Splitter system – assuming 1000 CHF/ TB we get total amount for splitters 108 kCHF. The cost drivers are opto receivers (max. 20 on a TB, as well as one on a Splitter Bd) / opto transmitters. Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Staging and Cost Saving • Presently approved strategy for PACT electronics construction: • Order elements for LB system for existing RPCs (up to eta=1.6, w/o RE5) and RE11 (difficulties in latter installation of LBx there). • Order elements and assembly Splitter System only for existing RPCs. • Order elements and assembly TB w/o PAC FPGAs for the complete system. • Order PAC FPGAs for towers up to eta=1.6 • If not out of money order more FPGAs/ Links.

Manpower (in FTE) • Warsaw: electronics engineers 2.5 • WUT students 2 • PhD students 1.5 • Technicians 1.5 • Programmers 0.8 • Finland: ? • Bari: electronics engineers 1.5 Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Conclusions • COST: • Almost within estimates from 1997 • Still substantial uncertainties ( 10 %, maybe even up to 20%?) but firming up • SCHEDULE: • Tight • Critical path: LB RE11 box mechanics, splitters, trigger board • MANPOWER: • Still a worry • Recently more help from Finland (LB production and Splitters) • Warsaw manpower sufficient for USC55 electronics - TB/ ROB/TC • Bari: sufficient for Sorter Crate Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003

Test Pulses Sharpness of the Synchronization Window Test pulse directly connected to input channel with short (~5cm) cable Test pulse Synchronization window window open window close The sharpness of the synchronization window edge is ~0.3 ns (one channel) Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Beam testsWindow Size and Position Scans Ratio of chamber noise signals in synchronization window to all measured. The beam bunch time shape scanned with 1ns window Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Test PulsesInput Channels Skew One test pulse directly connected to each input channel Big skew between input channels (~1ns)- understood; Reason: differences in paths lengths on the PCB After fixing the paths lengths the skew should be reduced to ~0.4ns Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003

Standard LB boxes VME crates Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Safety of the DCS system • Problem of Single Point Failure effect • The “skip fault architecture” allows to limit SFP damage results to single Link Box • Amount of CCU chains – contradictory factors • To improve safety & throughput – should be as many chains as possible. • To keep the price reasonable – we should limit the number of CCU chains (less FEC boards and DOH modules). • Final decision should be taken after the prices of all components are known. Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Solution of CCU related problems • The problems with too short read/write strobes in block mode have been confirmed • Special interface block will be needed to translate the “short” read/write accesses from CCU into “longer” read/write accesses on the Local Bus • The problem with CCU Alarms has been almost solved • Some minor problems with multiple alarms on the same line still exist – should be solved quickly Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Time of “initial loading” of FLASHes • Theoretical limit: • 2 Mw(ords) in a single FLASH, 7μs typical time for programming of a single word. Thus, the programming of a single FLASH should take ci. 7 sec. • FLASHes may be programmed in parallel, but then the system throughput is a limiting factor • 2000 of FLASHes 1Mw each = 2GB of data • With effective throughput of 1MB/s in single chain we get ci. 2000 sec/number of chains Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
Time of FPGA refreshing • Main limiting factor – FLASH memory access time – ca. 100 ns • If we assume that the FLASH controller will be implemented in standard FPGA – FLASH controllers reconfiguration - ca. 15 ms • “User” FPGA reconfiguration – ca. 40-50 ms • Total 65 ms Jan Królikowski, CMS Annual Review, CERN Sept. 16, 2003
