  1. On the development of the final optical multiplexer board prototype for the TileCal experiment V. González Dep. of Electronic Engineering University of Valencia, Spain

  2. Outline • Introduction • Previous work OMB 6U • Final prototype OMB 9U • Present status

  3. Introduction • RODs interface LVL1 and LVL2 at each detector • Some preprocessing available if needed • For TileCal, radiation issues changed front end connection to RODs • Two fibers with same data output each FrontEnd board • Need to select the fiber with good data in case of errors (OMB aka PreROD)

  4. Previous work OMB 6U • Specifications • VME 6U Board format • 2 input channels (4 input fibers) @ 640 Mbit/s • 2 output channels (2 output fibers) • Digital data analysis (CRC computation) • Trigger and Busy inputs

  5. Previous work OMB 6U • Functionality • Error detection (multiplexing) • Data injection • Preconfigured event (counter) • Configurable event loadable through VME • Different trigger options • External (NIM or LVTTL) • Internal. Variable frequency • Single • Loop • Non-stop

  6. Previous work OMB 6U • Designed with Cadence PSD 15.0 and Altera Quartus II for FPGA programs • Technical details • 2 Cyclone EP1C12 and 1 ACEX EP1K100 FPGAs • 12 copper layers, 35 μm thick • > 2000 routes 0.15 mm width • > 2000 vias 0.2 mm • SMD components widely used

  7. Previous work OMB 6U • TEST at Valencia LAB • Firmware adjustment • Integration with ROD motherboard • Development of control software (XTestROD) • TEST at CERN (USA15) • During commissioning • Integration with 8 TileCal ROD • Used now for ROD production tasks

  8. Final prototype OMB 9U • Same basic functionality • CRC checking • Data injection • 40 MHz clock • Differences • 8 channels • 16 input fibers • 8 output fibers • TTCrx • Mezzanine connectors: more processing power?

  9. Final prototype OMB 9U • Technical details • 9U VME slave board • Dual optoelectronic transmitter/receiver (Stratos) • GLINK chips • 8 HDMP-1032: transmitter • 16 HDMP-1034: receiver • 8 Cyclone EP1C12 (CRC FPGA) • One for each channel (2 input fibers and 1 output fiber) • 1 Cyclone EP1C20 (VME FPGA) • Changed from ACEX in 6U version for more logic resources • Includes TTCrx control firmware

  10. Final prototype OMB 9U

  11. Final prototype OMB 9U • PCB details • Input/output signals designed for operation at 80 MHz • 10 copper layers • Signal layers between power/gnd planes • Adjacent layers routed orthogonally for minimum coupling

  12. Final prototype OMB 9U • Signal integrity issues • Big area, not too much populated • Long distance traces (high coupling) • Clock distribution • JTAG chain distribution • VME-CRC FPGA serial bus • Different voltage supplies • +3.3 Volt for FPGA I/O and some logic • +1.5 Volt for FPGA cores (island) • +5 Volt for logic • +12 Volt for NIM/TTL conversion (ext. trigger input)

  13. Final prototype OMB 9U • Example of SI analysis: VME to CRC serial BUS • Connected between the VME FPGA and all CRC FPGAs • For control, communication, configuration, etc. • 4 lines: CLK, DATA0, DATA1, DATA2, DATA3 • Frequency of operation 40 MHz

  14. Final prototype OMB 9U • First attempt • Manual placement and routing of bus lines • Keep stubs short • Keep same routing layer as much as possible • R, RC termination • Problem • Characteristic impedance change at T junction • Reflections at first FPGA creates InterSymbol Interference (ISI)

  15. Final prototype OMB 9U • PostLayout simulation

  16. Final prototype OMB 9U • Second attempt • Manual placement and routing of bus lines • Keep stubs short • Keep same routing layer as much as possible • Problem • Reflections with different termination schemes

  17. Final prototype OMB 9U • PostLayout simulation

  18. Final prototype OMB 9U • Final attempt • Manual placement and routing of bus lines • Keep stubs short • Keep same routing layer as much as possible • Solution • Resistive termination at both ends

  19. Final prototype OMB 9U • PostLayout simulation

  20. Present status • Stratos change connectors to be RoHS compliant • Need to test new connectors • Board routing on the way • SI analysis still undergoing: JTAG chain, clock distribution and power distribution • FPGA firmware adaptation
