The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is the outermost of the three subsystems of the ATLAS Inner Detector. ATLAS is one of two general‐purpose detectors built for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The TRT front‐end electronics use two custom‐built, radiation‐hard ASICs: the analog Amplifier, Shaper, Discriminator, Baseline Restorer (ASDBLR) chip and the Digital Time Measurement,...

Many modern DAQ systems deploy a network running a custom network protocol to connect many FPGAs distributed on the detector. Key aspects are low latency, high bandwidth and also fault-tolerance. Another aspect is the control and monitoring system for the full detector. For the HADES experiment, the TrbNet protocol was developed to meet all of these requirements. The complete system is...

The ARA project requires precision clock synchronization in electronic waveform capture circuits deployed in separate 200 m boreholes at the South Pole. Simultaneously digitized data must be transferred to trigger and readout electronics at the surface. We have tested two methods of embedding the clock distribution and recovery into the communications system: one using 4 LVDS pairs in CAT5...
