FEE Electronics progress Mezzanine layout progress FEE64 progress FEE64 initial testing Test mezzanine. VHDL progress in TBU A few of the remaining tasks
Mezzanine Layout Progress • Layout complete. • Checked :- • ASICs can be mounted. • Board is manufacturable. • Board passes DRC. • Check :- • Layout and design is acceptable for ASIC and mechanics.
FEE64 progress targets • September 3rd : • PCB manufactured and shipped to assembler and DL. • September 21st : • Assembled boards delivered this week. • Commissioning commences - PJCS, MK, LM. • October 31st : • Milestone --- Decision to proceed with experiment.
Initial testing of FEE64 • Power supplies – 28 : Check for noise, stability, accuracy, efficiency…. • FPGA – • Check configuration via JTAG. • Check processor operates with internal memory and terminal. • Check configuration from EEPROM. • DDR2 Memory • Run test system developed by DSDG. • Check results and optimise access speed for best performance. • Gbit Ethernet • Run test system developed by DSDG. • ASIC communications and discriminator output timing • Analog buffers and ADCs
Test mezzanine • The board is to allow the exercising of the FEE64 analog and digital inputs. • All active signals will be routed with identical lengths and consideration of type. • Target is to produce them by Mid October.
Collaboration with Detector Systems Development Group (DSDG) of TBU.(Technology Business Unit ) Completed : • Gbit data rate from memory on the devkit => 240Mbit/sec . • System boots with fallback to golden copy. • Created a DMA peripheral with transfer rate of 1.1Gbytes/sec. • Pin allocation of FEE64 memory and Gbit signals checked. • Create a memory test and configuration system. • Review the FEE64 schematic and pcb layout Next steps : • Commissioning
A few of the remaining Tasks • Manufacture Mezzanine. • Complete Mechanical design. ( Is waiting for final component heights ) • Test documentation. • Commission first FEE64 units • VHDL for first experimental use. • Full Linux processor with peripherals and DMA ( from DSDG work ) • ASIC communications ( from prototype work ) • ASIC multiplexed readout. ( from prototype work ) • Timestamped based on discriminator signals. • Formatted and transferred to processor memory as four time ordered data streams. • FEE64 design documentation. • Prepare for production.
