  2. Cluster Processor Module: Test • Two kinds of test • Real Time Data • LVDS Rx (80 Chips) • Serialisers (20 Chips) • Cp Chip (8 Chips) • Hit Results (2 chips) • Asynchronous Data • DAQ (1 chip) • RoI (1 chip)

  3. Cluster Processor Modules: Test Rigs • Thorough Tests were made with real or emulated module: • Downstream module was • Emulated: One LVDS Source Module (LSM), designed to emulate Preprocessor Module • Upstream Module were • Emulated: Glink Rx where Glink output where dump into big RAMs • Real: • Common Merger Module • ROD • One CPM was integrated with real modules during the CERN Test Beam in Oct04

  5. Cluster Processor Modules: Test Rigs • Thorough Tests were made with real or emulated module: • Downstream module was • Emulated: One LVDS Source Module (LSM), designed to emulate Preprocessor Module • Upstream Module were • Emulated: Glink Rx where Glink output where dump into big RAMs • Real: • Common Merger Module • ROD • One CPM was integrated with real modules during the CERN Test Beam in Oct04

  6. Cluster Processor Module: LVDS Data Results - 1 deskew1 • Source of data : Lvds Source Module • Data at the input of the serialisers are strobed at 40 MHz with Deskew1 • TTCvi/TTCex system was used to send the clock • The serialiser chip clock was changed via the I2C port of TTCrx • Timing window measured by delaying input serialiser chip clock in 104 ps steps • Error free zone of 20 ns Srl RAM DLL 20 ns

  7. Cluster Processor Module: LVDS Data Results - 2 Each individual serialiser show a transition less than 2 ns Spread of tracks length expand it up to 5 ns Bit Error Rate Test performed at the input of the serialiser chip: < 10-13 per channel with pseudo random data (modified Serialiser F/W used)

  8. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data deskew2 • Serialiser playback memories or LSM were used to drive data up to the CP chips • Delay between CP chip clock (deskew2) and SRL chip clock (deskew1) was varied • Delay was added using the available 104 ps step sizes deskew1 CP DLL Srl RAM DLL Srl RAM DLL CP DLL Srl RAM DLL

  9. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data • Two F/Ws for the CP chips exist • One for debugging purpose: capture data on each individual pin (108) • One with the cluster algorithm, ATLAS version • Tests consisted of • Aligned clocks of different board with an oscilloscope • Load F/W with debugging mode • Perform a TTC scan • Record data error profile of each input pin • Load F/W with algorithm • Perform TTC scan • Record RoI profile of each CP chip • Record Parity error profile of each CP chip

  10. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data: Data Error Profile • TTC scan using debugging mode • One 2nd CPM on the right-hand side (dashed profile) • Scan is performed over 25 ns, but input data run at 160 MHz: pattern of 6.25 ns period observed • Data Error free timing window around 2.5 ns 2.5 ns

  11. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data • Timing window on each individual pin is around 4 ns • Reduce to 2.5 ns due to spread of track length • Two clocks phases are provided to capture on-board and backplane data After Correction Before Correction

  12. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data • Overall Spread over 1 CPM Before Correction After Correction

  13. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data • F/W with algorithm was used • RoI correctly processed • Parity Error profiles with a CPM either on the Left- or -Right Handside are correctly aligned • A total window of 2 ns is measured 2nd CPM on Left 2nd CPM on Right

  14. Cluster Processor Module: Real Time Data: Temperature Effect • One CPM was put in an oven, remotely control trough a VME cable link to a CPU • The temperature was ranged from 5oC to 50oC • TTC scan of only on-board data was performed • Over that period, a shift of 500 ps has been measured • Reduced the data error free window to 1.5 ns

  15. Cluster Processor Module: Hit multiplicities output • Multiplicities of different thresholds are calculated in real time at the output of the Hit Merger chip • Multiplicities are transmitted via the backplane to the CMM • Hit data were recovered inside the spy memory of the CMM • Timing scan was performed by delaying serialiser chip clock • Error free timing window of 12 ns, the rest of the period spent to calculate the multiplicities

  16. Cluster Processor Module: Readout Frame Definition RoIs found by the CP are stored in a FIFO and sent to a ROD with a Bunch Crossing Number (BCN) attached on each L1A DAQ monitoring data, consisting of energies from 80 TT as well as resulting hit multiplicities are also sent to a ROD on each L1A. Data from up to 5 consecutive bunch crossings can be sent Parity BCN (h,f) Control Flag Threshold passed TT4-7 TT0-3 Parity HIT/BCN TT79-76 TT4-7 TT0-3

  17. Cluster Processor Module: Readout Testing Setup • DSS used as a source of L1A pulses with a known pattern • No and rate of L1A controlled • TTCvi/TTCex system used with external input signals • Simulation data were generated according to known occurrence of L1As • Error checks were performed • At B’ham: on spy memory inside a ROD emulator (Glink Rx), on BCN and Data value • At RAL: using PC ROS where data were compared event per event basis with the simulation

  18. Cluster Processor Module: Readout Testing Results • Burst rates of L1A up to 130 kHz were tested for Slice DAQ and RoI with no errors • DAQ frame with the minimal required separation of 5 ticks between L1As were recovered successfully • Up to 5 consecutive BCs DAQ data per event were also transmitted error free • Runs of up to more than 1h were performed showing no error

  19. Cluster Processor Module: Test Beam Results • The CPM was integrated with • 2 CMMs • 1 PPMs • 2 RODs • Data correctly received by the CPM • Use of CPM DAQ to look at digitized calorimeter pulse over 5 time-slice • Data analysis of the test beam shows algorithm perform as expected

  20. Cluster Processor Module: Latency measurement: old F/W version 50 ns .5 tck 13.4 ticks 2 ticks 2.5 ticks 8.4 ticks Lvds Rx Serialiser CP Chip Hit

  21. Cluster Processor Module: Latency Saving • The serialiser chip was having an extra 12 ns: • Remove … • …but 6.25 ns added to cope with clock alignment scheme • The CP chip old version was having an obsolete calibration scheme and extra F/Fs on real time path • By removing them, 2 ticks have been saved • Not re-measured since but the offset of the readout has to be moved back by 2 ticks • Hit • No change, but if decide to clock the output with deskew1, ½ tick will be added 2.2 BC (-.25) 6.4 BC (-2.) .5 BC

  22. Cluster Processor Module: Latency measurement • The total estimate latency for the CP is of 11.2 BC • The estimation of the latency from the test beam measurement is of 82 BC, but without a CPM in the chain, only JEM and looking at total energy • The latency of the CMM, part of the CP, was roughly measured of 4.9, and of the JEM 8.9 BC = 13.8 BC • Applied to the CPM 11.2+4.9, CP latency = 16.1 BC • The total L1A latency might exceed by 2 ticks, but still inside the 20 BC contingency.

  23. LSMs CPM Production Plan CPM CPM CPM CPM CMM CMM • Test Rigs: • To test up to 2 CPMs in parallel • Use of present Online ATLAS Software to go trough the following set of tests • Testing LVDS Rx with LSM • Perform TTCscan with data, check connectivity • Load serialiser with F/W dedicated for BER • Perform TTC scan for BER profile • Load CP Chip with debugging feature • Perform TTC scan on data, measure and record timing window • Load CP Chip with algorithm • Perform TTCscan • Record data and parity error profile • Record hit merger data error profile from CMM • Overnight run looking at DAQ/RoI parity error • Production plan • 2 CPMs a day (with overnight run) • 65 CPMs-> test done in less than 2 months • Set of histograms comes with each CPMs
