Description
This contribution can be seen as a continuation of the talk “RD50-MPW3: General details and pixel matrix”. This presentation focuses on the digital periphery of the chip and how it is integrated to the DAQ system, thus it is discussing a distinct topic.
A brief overview of the digital periphery is followed by a more detailed introduction of the data acquisition concept and software. The main aspects of the digital periphery are presented and challenges during the design are discussed and links for further information are provided.
The readout framework is based on the Caribou system and details about firmware, software and integration into a test beam setup are given. This includes details about data-flow, configuration as well as synchronization with other detectors in a typical test beam environment.
As the chip has not been delivered yet, we cannot show detailed measurements. Nevertheless, preliminary tests to prove the functionality of our readout chain are shown. Finally, a short outlook including our plans for test beams and building our own telescope demonstrator are presented.
