TTC system for FP420 reference timing? TTC = Timing Trigger Control Sophie Baron (PH-ESS) FP420 Collaboration meeting, Sept. 2006
FP420 requirements for timing transmission • Bunch Clock and Orbit(?) to be transmitted • Level of radiations = ?? • Clock monitoring between the 2 signals • 10 ps rms jitter skew between the clocks in W and E FP420 Collaboration meeting, Sept. 2006
Existing system • The TTC system • Rad-hard chips • Monitoring the phase between 2 optical signals • Various transmission schemes used by the TTC system • Typical jitter values FP420 Collaboration meeting, Sept. 2006

Radiation hard components • TTCrx: • 50ps rms • The TTCrx is now fabricated in the radiation-hard DMILL technology, which completely eliminates the possibility of a single-event latch-up, and should show a high immunity to single-event upset (SEU). • Tested up to : 8 Mrad (X-Rays) and – 5 x1013 n/cm2 (Neutrons) • QPLL: • 10-15ps rms • Tested up to 10Mrad (Co-60 γ) + 3 1015 n/cm2 • TRR receiver: • Optical receiver from Truelight (Taiwan) selected for most of the TTC designs • Tested with the TTCrx at the same doses. • OK if the optical power level stays above -20dBm (0.1mW) • Optical Fibers: • sensitive to radiations (attenuation increases with the dose) • Special fibres validated for ATLAS and CMS at high radiation levels (1014-1015 n cm-2 and total dose of 100 to 300 kGy) • Radiation hardness of multi-mode optical fibres for the ATLAS detector readout (June 1999,DG Charlton et all) FP420 Collaboration meeting, Sept. 2006
Clock differences Monitoring? Comparator control • Phase shift with temperature: • Typical value: shift of 25ps/degC/km • FP420 => 12ps/C per side if 420m on each side • Limit of the measurement: • The jitter between the W and E zones can not be monitored, as it is manly generated by the electronics doing the optical to electrical conversion • The measurement will only concern the phase shift between the 2 segments FP420 Collaboration meeting, Sept. 2006
Transmission Schemes • Encoded • TTC inside the experiments (based on aTTCrx chip) • Advantage: Allows to encode the orbit signal (and control frames) to the 40.078MHz • Drawback: jitter increases with the quantities of encoded data • QPLL added to reduce the jitter of the recovered clock down to 10-15ps rms • Parallel • TTC backbone system • Orbit and clock on separate fibres • Advantage: very low jitter after the opto-electrical conversion (10ps) without using the QPLL FP420 Collaboration meeting, Sept. 2006
