Outline Main Design updates Results of the Preliminary Radiation Tests Example application: nanoFIPDIAG Next Steps
Outline Main Design updates Results of the Preliminary Radiation Tests Example application: nanoFIPDIAG Next Steps
Main Design Updates Added Power On Reset input pin Updated turnaround times based on measurements on microFIP chips configured with the fastest settings Removed “Read” access rights from the Produced memory Synthesis with Precision Rad-Tol : Localized TMR and Fail-safe state machines
Main Design Updates nan FIP Completed validation with independent Simulation Test Bench by G.Penacoba (TE/CRG) nan FIP Millions of cycles exhaustive testing with J. Palluel’s (BE/ CO) software V2 testing board including the project’s extension with JTAG Currently 19 V2 agents running continuously in our lab Extensive 5-days code review in Jan 2011 by 5 designer experts from 2 different groups (http://www.ohwr.org/projects/cern-fip/repository/show/trunk/hdl/design/CodeReview_24Jan11)

nanoFIP Preliminary Radiation Tests at PSI Test Results Correct frames exchange until ~400 Gy; no SEE At ~400 Gy no frame was being received by the Master; chips not responding Soft reset / power cycle not able to recover the functionality JTAG scan chain giving errors Several hours later the chips were fully functional “The instabilities were always accompanied by an increase of the current in the FPGA core from 1 to 33 mA.” Radiation-Tolerant ProASIC3 FPGAs Radiation Effects ACTEL report
FIELDRIVE Preliminary Radiation Tests at PSI Test Setup Control Room RS 232 <50m 9V <50m nanoFIP user WorldFIP Master Field TR Fiel drive WorldFIP FIELDBUS
FIELDRIVE Preliminary Radiation Tests at PSI Test Results 1 set of FIELDRIVE/ FIELDTR at 1 Mbps bit rate 5 ms macrocycle Testing stopped at 400 Gy due to beam time expiration No error appeared throughout the testing 10 % current consumption increase
Outline Design updates Results of the Preliminary Radiation Tests Example application: nanoFIPDIAG Next Steps
Example application: nanoFIPDIAG FIPDIAG: electronics module used for fieldbus diagnostic purposes Test version: Use of the nanoFIP testing board with some extra cabling Configuration: stand-alone mode, 1 Mbps bit rate No software changes needed Tests running successfully in the same segment with cryo agents Official version: assigned to HLP; First modules expected Q3 2011
