- TFC status - Switch / RS RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson

RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson

All switches TFC switch Design will change slightly: - Sandwich idea dropped --> no intermodule bus - ECS interface on each switch - Fitted on FB board instead of VME --> More board space --> More front panel space - Everything 5V - Verify skew and jitter - Buy MUXes TFC switch RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson

Throttle switches RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson

RS functions - Clock distribution(TTC) - L0 distribution - Trigger controller Trigger controller Throttles - ECS interface ECS interface ECS L0 - L0 distribution L1 - L1 distribution - Clock distribution(TTC) TTC encoder Ch A/B LHC clock - Auto-trigger generator Trigger generator - Reset/cmd generator Reset/command generator - “RS Front-End” RS Front-End L0/L1 DAQ RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson

- Open to new technology - Aiming for flexibility in HW --> change/add/remove RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson

Summary Switches settled on Readout Supervisor Review successful Some layout changes to be made Fit ECS interface Making prototypes in January-February 2001 Readout Supervisor Specifications sent to all detector people Design in progress, very productive month with Zbig Most of the important “blocks” designed (first version) and simulated. Missing: Reset controller, counters, throttle history, Random generators, RS F-E, ECS interface Looking for novelties on the FPGA side Combined simulations of several blocks to be worked on Staged review, first in March - April RO meeting 15/11/2000 Richard Jacobsson
