  1. A C-Card for Use with the BNL Peak-Finding ASIC Ken Johns, Joel Steinberg, Jason Veatch, Venkat Kaushik (U. Arizona)

  2. Status • A C-Card has been developed for use with both versions (V1 and V2) of the BNL peak-finding ASIC • Communication with the FEC card to the MAMMA DAQ program has been successfully tested • Communication with the V1 ASIC on its present front-end card is in progress • Design of a front-end card for full-size Micromegas using V2 of the ASIC is in progress

  3. Features • Connections to two BNL front-end cards via 2x80 pin ribbon cables • 8 LVDS inputs to C-Card • 16 LVDS I/O ports • Connection to FEC card via card edge connectors • 4 LVDS inputs to C-Card • 21 LVDS outputs • 3 LVDS clocks to C-Card • 2 3.125 Gbps transceivers

  4. Features • 10/100 Ethernet and USB connections • 4 12 bit ADC’s • 4 16 bit DAC’s • 2 calibration pulse generators • 2 ramp generators • 2 FPGA clock regions from on-board oscillators or FEC

  5. AZ C-Card ADC & DAC for Board #1 ADC & DAC for Board #2 To Board #1 To Board #2 FEC Power Connector FEC A-Card Connector FEC B-Card Connector Ethernet Interface USB Flash DDR2

  7. Front-End Card with V1 BNL ASICS

  8. Testing With FEC

  9. Testing with FEC • Preprogrammed events of varying lengths and time intervals were sent to the FEC • Sorin Martoiu wrote FEC firmware for FIFO receive and UDP packet creation • Validated with MAMMA DAQ program using simple event prints

  10. Future Work • Continue commissioning of C-Card with V1 BNL ASIC • Prepare for commissioning of C-Card with V2 BNL ASIC • Continue design of front-end card for full-size MM with V2 BNL ASIC
