1. 10/28/09E. Hazen FNAL Workshop1 HCAL DAQ / Timing / Controls Module Eric Hazen, Shouxiang Wu Boston University

2. 10/28/09E. Hazen FNAL Workshop2 DTC Requirements ● Clock / Controls ● Receive TTC and/or upgraded controls stream ● Distribute clock and synchronous controls ● DAQ ● Readout DAQ data, optionally perform ZS or SR ● Transmit to SLink (via adapter) and/or new DAQ ● Must be an MCH card for connectivity ● Could eventually perform minimal MCH functions

3. 10/28/09E. Hazen FNAL Workshop3 Existing HCAL Crate (complex cable plant!) Front-end Fibers (8x) Total 48 ch/HTR CAEN VME Bridge HTR VME Module DCC VME Module TP to RCT Vitesse serial TTC fanout VME Module HTR to DCC LVDS serial TTC/clocks SLink-64

6. 10/28/09E. Hazen FNAL Workshop6 MCH Mechanics (in progress) Front panel space very tight! Barely room for 3 SFP+ and TTC receiver T1 T2 T3 T4 MCH requires 4 connectors Plan is to use 2 PCBs, with connectors only at other two sites. Front panel Harting AMC, MCH plug connectors Harting MCH flex adapter
