2. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 AGATA Experiment: 4  array of HPGe detectors for in-beam  -ray spectroscopy 36 fold segmented crystal + central core contact x 180 Digital electronics and sophisticated Pulse Shape Analysis algorithms Operation of Ge detectors in position sensitive mode  -ray tracking

3. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 AGATA Readout: Channel per crystal: 36 + 1 per crystal Total channel: 6660 Local Level Trigger Central core processing Central trigger processor Global Trigger Global Trigger and Synchronization control system (GTS) Global time reference The design of FE readout and L1 trigger follows a synchronous pipeline model: the data are collected at 100 MS/s and stored in pipeline buffers at the global AGATA frequency waiting the L1 decision

4. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 Agata Front-end Model

5. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 Choice of Readout Standard Candidates VME/VXI Past Experience with older detectors Bandwidth limited CompactPCI First version of AGATA Readout electronics Advanced TCA Present version

6. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 Pros –Very stable –Huge choice of commercial boards –Slave implementation very simple –Wide ecosystem in HEP –Recently extended with serial switched capabilities Cons –Slow readout (max 40-80) Mbytes/s Enhancements (CBLT) not fully standard –Limited power dissipation per slot –Master implementation not trivial –If large estate needed then 9U crates expensive –Limited customizability on the bus –Crate control not standard –No power redundancy -> limited availability VME

7. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 Pros –Fast ( > 500 Mbytes/s) –Huge choice of commercial boards –Low cost (Telecom standard) –Wide choice of IP cores available for interfacing (both initiator/target) –Extended to serial switched with CPCIExpress –Highly customizable through user reserved backplane connectors Cons –Small estate –Low power dissipation per slot –Low no. of slots per bus without bridging –No standard crate control CompactPCI

8. Agata Week – LNL 14 November 2007 Pros –Ultra high speed –Multi standard –Big estate / high power per slot –Choice of star or full mesh backplane –Redundant power supply –Standard crate control –Fits perfectly with modern FPGAs/ ASSPs –Gaining momentum in HEP community –Custom deployments can co-exist with standards Cons –Moderate choice of COTS cards on the market –Commercial switches exist only for 1G/10G ethernet Telecom driven Advanced TCA
