Oct 20, 2001HCAL TriDAS7 HTR – “Dense” scheme P1 DeS OPTICAL Rx (8 LC) P2 LVDS Tx P3 SLB -PMC Trigger output 48 Trigger Towers 9U Board DeS FPGA Xilinx Vertex-2 DeS 8 FE fibers 24 QIE-ch’s to DCC OPTICAL Rx (8 LC) 8 FE fibers 24 QIE-ch’s to DCC FPGA Xilinx Vertex-2 Throughput: 17 Gb/s Latency: + 2 T CK

USCMS/Rochester. Oct 20, 2001HCAL TriDAS8 “Dense” HTR Strong reasons to push to dense scheme –Money Fewer boards! –Programmable logic vs. hardware Avoid hardware MUXs Maintain synchronicity –Single FPGA per 8 channels Both L1/TPG and L1A/DCC processing Xilinx Vertex-2 PRO will have deserializer chips built in! –Saves $500/board –Many fewer connections –~20 DeS->FPGA connections replaced by GHz line –Challenges: »Layout of 1.6 GHz signals »Schedule implications for final production may have to slip ~6 months to wait for Vertex-2 PRO What do we give up? –Each board much more epensive –More difficult layout –Need transition board to handle TPG output So does ECAL – common solution will be used –Need 2 DCC/crate (but half the number of crates!)

USCMS/Rochester. Oct 20, 2001HCAL TriDAS9 Changes from HTR Demo to Final Front-end input –From 800MHz HP G-Links to 1600MHz TI Gigabit ethernet Timing –TTC daughterboard to TTC ASIC Core logic –Altera to Xilinx Trigger output –Moved to transition board Form factor –6U to 9U Output to DCC? Unchanged!!!

USCMS/Rochester. Oct 20, 2001HCAL TriDAS10 Status Front-end emulator  HTR demonstrator  DCC  S-Link  CPU –Successful operation of each individual link Integration underway - Tullio goes to Boston next week Pre-prototype board layout –Complete, board is now being stuffed –Will have only 1 FPGA with full complement of associated parts Will use the TI Deserializers – not the Vertex 2 PRO –Internal use only Prototype layout –Should be complete in November Some changes from pre-prototype, but minor Maryland activity is in prep for source tests and 9U board design –Preparation for testbeam summer 02 not yet started –Trying hard to meet March 02 deadline for decision on which HTR to use for testbeam Energy filters still undefined
