Muon System Electronics Upgrade Meeting Summary Alessandro Cardini / INFN Cagliari

A. Cardini / INFN Cagliari Roma, October 10, 2014 A. Cardini / INFN Cagliari

nSYNC Architecture TDC + Histogram builder: 4 bit TDC (1.5 ns resolution @ 40 MHz) 16 bins of 224 entries each. The counts stop when any of the bins saturates. Dead time free in hit capture. Muon Trigger TELL40 Interface: Sends synchronized hits every machine cycle (40 MHz). Prog. buffer depth to guarantee the synchronization between different nSYNC sending data through the same GBT TDC ZS: Zero Suppression of TDC’s data not related to hit events. TDC TELL40 Interface: Sends synchronized ZS TDC data every machine cycle (40 MHz). I2C Interface: Configure through the ECS. Triple-voted configuration S. Cadeddu - INFN Cagliari Roma - 08/10/14

nSYNC: alcuni punti (quasi) fermi Tecnologia: Al momento UMC 130 nm In attesa di notizie/decisioni dal CERN sulla TSMC 130 nm 48 canali 1 GBT per nSYNC => 4 link indipendenti per nODE 1 GBT_TFC per nODE 1 GBT_SCA per nODE Clock 40 MHz di sistema (da dove?) 80/160/320 MHz per interfacce GBT (quale frequenza?; Il clock generato dal GBT stesso?) Interfaccia ECS I2C o SPI (?) S. Cadeddu - INFN Cagliari Roma - 08/10/14

GBTx clock Livelli logici usati Input clock SLVS e CMOS Power-up Ha bisogno di un reference clock per effettuare la procedura di startup del chip e di inizializzazione del link 3 opzioni Low-jitter external clock  opzione consigliate per i GBT slave External clock+internal XPLL  opzione consigliate per i GBT slave Internal XPLL in XOSC mode (usa un quarzo incapsulato nel package)  opzione consigliate per i GBT master La scelta viene effettuata tramite un pin esterno tra opt. 1 e 2/3 e con un registro interno tra opt.2 e 3 Alla fine della procedure di power-on ( 2ms) vengono generati dei segnali di ready rxRdy (receiver ready): the receiver part of the GBTX is ready for operation txRdy (transmitter ready): the transmitter part of the GBTX is ready for operation Dopo l’init del link ottico il clock del GBTx è sincrono con: il clock estratto dai dati del link ottico se il GBTx lavora in modalità duplex il reference clock se il GBTx lavora in modalità Simplex-TX

GBTx clock Occorre scegliere uno schema che Garantisca la massima flessibilità Minimizzi il numero di input verso l’nSYNC Nota: bisogna capire se/come sincronizzare il clock con i comandi del TFC

GBTx wide frame format 4 bit Header (H) field (2 types) 2 bit Internal Control (IC) field used to control and monitor the GBTX operation Its use is strictly reserved for the GBTX control. 2 bit External Control (EC) field to implement a slow control channel (e.g. for the GBT-SCA) its use is not restricted to this application and can be used for generic data transmission applications. 112 bit Data (D) field for generic transmission of data

Removing HW Muon LLT option The final design of the nSYNC ASIC and of the nODE board depend also on how we are planning to implement the Muon LLT A SW-only muon LLT will allow an hardware simplification and an important money saving (fewer pins on the nSYNC, fewer optical link on the nODE) because we could remove the output lines to the LLT In addition, further changes to the current muon system layout are only possible in the case of a full software LLT Discussions have already started during an electronics upgrade meeting on June 27th, 2014; there are no opposition in principle (SW LLT is already the baseline) In Orsay we decided to approve this choice at next TB in December. A documents describing advantages/disadvantages will be prepared together with Julien C. Orsay, 16/09/2014 A. Cardini / INFN Cagliari
