High Voltage Power supply We use CAEN SY1527LC crate supply 8 U size RPC1N and 1S probably can just share one power supply how about station 2, 3 Do we need a patch (fanout) panel

DC power distribution After half octant module, all discriminator board power(2 wires per module) should be wire to rack. 16*6 RPC discriminator for station 3 DC power fanout at din rail mounted fuse block at the FEM rack (~1A fuse) Do not share power supply between station. Use Low noise converter pack (QPAC) For the FEM crate power do not share power between crates.

I would like to limit the length discriminator cable to 10 meters. (to be tested about jitters) The RPC2, 3, we will need to find the crate space near the detector. Crate need to be recess in the rack. Cable routing space needed in front of the crate.

What half octant station 2,3 need 6 discriminator boards, 3 TDC modules for station 3 half octant, 8 discriminator boards, 4 TDC modules for station 2 half octant. Don’t know we should have one crate or 2 crates for the coming run. Timing issues Some thing we need to thinks about… We only need one DCM board with maximum 2 FE3 daughter card. One more granule, we also need one GTM. We also need 2 RPC L1 trigger board The slow control will done with Ethernet (packet transfer). Backup solution will be slow serial download cable I assume this will become UC/Nevis responsibility

Electronics status We have received prototype discriminator board a while ago, one assembled. The two assembled TDC modules was received about one week ago. We have received 100 cable adapter board last Friday. We assembled one example.

Electronics test done so far Check out discriminator serial download strings set discriminator threshold DAC Fire test pulse and see the output LVDS signal Couple directly into the input amplify TDC module Verify serial download read data back in offline mode Through the clock master module Fire TDC module internal test pulse, compare TDC value vs. test pulse steps More detail test works need to be done to characterize the system.

internal test pulse vs. TDC value TDC module internal test pulse vs. TDC value dead region TDC TDC Channel 17 Channel 18 One beam crossing Internal test pulse step Internal test pulse step TDC internal test pulse is generated with both edge of the 320MHz clock (i.e. 64 steps, ~1.6ns per step)

Clockmaster software Clock master module interface use Motorola Coldfire 5282 evaluation board (ethernet) slowdown load Interface to the GTM to distribute clocks, L1 trigger and test pulse Alex has able to build uCLinux for the 5282 evaluation board we will be working together to build the software to control the FEE system.

What happen next More testing Built L1 trigger board  4 months? Problem There is only one test stand, like to build more Production issue on the backplane, crate, clock master module, xmit, clock fanout etc This will become problem to has test stand in BNL and Boulder When will the production start
