Understanding Data Acquisition System for N- XYTER

Set-up Requirements Measurement of time, energy and position Data acquisition speed ~ 1Gbps Input Clock ~ 250MHz Input channels ~ 1024 or higher Data - 8-bit parallel after flash ADC ADC – Flash type 8-bit (MAX MSPS) Time stamp, channel-ID and status signals 32 bit(8-bit parallel x 4 packet)

N-XYTER Block Schematic

Data packet for time-stamp channel- id and status signals Differential analog output in N-XYTER

Some parameters form CBM Each channel detects autonomously all hits An absolute time stamp, precise to a fraction of the sampling period, is associated with each hit All hits are shipped to the next layer (usually concentrators) Association of hits with events done later using time correlation Typical Parameters: –with few 1% occupancy and 10 7 interaction rate: some 100 kHz channel hit rate few MByte/sec per channel whole CBM detector: 1 Tbyte/

Control bus to N-XYTER To FOL 1Gbps link

N-XYTER Chip configuration All internal bias, thresholds and DAC references are programmable through I2C slow 100Kbps by total 46 resisters. ROC board is to be built to program and to control above mentioned control resisters and FPGA program can be changed by JTAG port. Next slide shows proposed scheme for N- XYTER configuration and control through I2C bus.

Algorithm Configuration data to be entered form computer to FPGA via RS-232 interface and stored in IIC EPROM. On start or restart of the system configuration data to be transferred to the N-XYTER through IIC bus. Status resister can be read back from N- XYTER through RS-232 port.

For configuration of the XYTER to set the threshold values and control words, a LINUX based platform is used in the PC. The software in the PC extend the facility to configure all the control Words and the same can be down loaded to the EEPROM on the ROC board through RS232 link. The EEPROM is connected through a IIC bus to FPGA and configure the XYTER with SOFTWARE CONTROL from the PC The ROCKET IO/ GTP provide data at 1GBPS in the serial format The standard Desk Top PC has a limitation to acquire data at 1GBPS so a SERVER is required to handle the High-speed from the ROC board through light link JTAG PROGRAMMING –The FPGA selected are nonvolatile and reprogrammable. However for programming the JTAG port is available at the board. –We require XILINX ISE software and JTAG Cable for development and downloading the software. Computer Control
