  1. CMS ECAL LECC 2004 – Boston, USA Qualification of the Front End Cards for the CMS ECAL Project Team: E. Corrin: Software design M Gastal: Digital design M. Hansen: Project supervision P. Petit: PCB design Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  2. Introduction CMS ECAL trigger and data acquisition system changed in 2002  Same functionality  Readout and trigger primitives generation CCS: Clock and Control System TCC: Trigger Concentrator Card DCC: Data Concentrator Card Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  3. Introduction New electronics modules  VFE, FE, LVR…  Focus on FE card VFE FE LVR Trigger Tower in Super Module Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  4. ECAL barrel GOH GOH Introduction 2 models of FE Cards  Fe card for barrel  Fe card for End Cap ECAL end-cap Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  5. Configuration FE Stimulus Generation Fail Response Acquisition Pass Model Introduction Focus: FE Cards  4,000 cards to be produced  Need for a qualification system Front end Automatic Tester Beyond a test system, a valuable simulation tool… Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  6. General Description Hardware System Control On-board ICs Data Flow Standard Operations Design Details Digital Design Typical Test Simulation Tool Outline Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  7. FE board FATI board JTAG FAT board Hardware New cards:  FAT card: 300mm ×550mm 12 Layers → 4 units  FATI card: 300mm ×250mm 6 Layers → 15 units • Why FATI? • Boundary scan implemented • Limit aging of FAT Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  8. VME vs. TINI System Control Ethernet TINI • For debugging purposes: • Rack and rack controller available • Widely used environment • Handling difficult • Space consuming • For production tests: • Ethernet controlled • Easier handling • Compact set-up • Limited memory resources Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  9. 1 2 3 4 X 1 2 3 4 X U1 U2 1 2 3 4 Y 1 2 3 4 Y DPRAM 32x (16bit X 64k) 1 2 3 4 X 1 2 3 4 X D1 D2 1 2 3 4 Y 1 2 3 4 Y Dual Port Random Access Memories • 33 16-bit×64k DPRAMs on board: • 25 Data DPRAMs  • To simulate 5 VFE cards of 5 16-bit channels each • 7 REC DPRAMs  • Record FE card response • From 6 17-bit optical links (end cap version) • 16-bit data + 1 bit handshake • 1 RT DPRAM  • Generate a trigger REC Hshake REC Data Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  10. 1 Local Bus VME/TINI 3 FPGA2&3 2 Local Bus FPGA1 Local Bus FPGA1 Data from RT DPRAM Slow Ctrl FE Address Port DPRAMs Programmable Logic • 3 Xilinx xc2s200-6fg456 FPGAs on board: • FPGA1 • FPGA2 • FPGA3 Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  11. Data Flow (1) Writing to, Reading from DPRAMs Software request VME command Decoding → FPGA1 Data broadcasting on local bus Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  12. Data Flow (2) Configuration of the FE card Software request VME command Decoding → FPGA1 Data broadcasting on local bus Decoding → FPGA3 Token Ring Communication Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  13. Data Flow (3) Stimulus sending Software request VME command Decoding → FPGA1 Data broadcasting on local bus Decoding → FPGA2 Data sending to FE Data recording from FE When trigger from RT DPRAM L1 Missing pulse to FE Read back response from FE Comparison with model Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  14. Digital design • FPGA1: Board management • VME & TINI interface • R/W operations • FPGAs communication interface • Use of Local Bus + handshake signals • Local bus management • Buffers management to avoid collision • FPGA2: Pattern Generation • Load start address of stimulus • Set length of broadcasting sequence • Start broadcasting sequence Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  15. FPGA3: FE Configuration Re-use of block from CCS system FPGA3 FEC-CCS VME Inter Verilog ADD VHDL mFEC Verilog FE Digital design FPGA1 Additional edge removal functionality Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  16. Production test: Goals: Checking crucial connections Operate board at 40 MHz Time Budget: ~2 minutes Typical test cycle: (-1 boundary scan check) Option -1 I2C test (check presence of FENIX) -1 set of data loading in the DATA DPRAMs and 100 triggers in the RT DPRAM. -1 set-up of the FE card using the slow control -1 stimulus sending and data recording FE Cards Tests Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  17. Suitable test patterns: Re-use of the FENIX simulation test vectors Appropriate replica of a VFE data flow FAT: A simulation tool Copy of the real life environment of the FE card Any VFE data flow can be reproduced Slow Control logic identical to real life system  Useful to understand potential unexpected behaviour  Can be used to investigate problems during runs Test Patterns and Simulation Martin.Gastal@cern.ch

  18. FAT: Flexible system reproducing real life environment of FE cards Multiple applications: Production tests Simulations Radiation tests (backup) Status: First system debugging run First production run to start in November Conclusion Martin.Gastal@cern.ch
