10. Jitter impact on clock distribution in LHC experiments

Mrs Sophie Baron (CERN)

Oral

The quality of the 40MHz Bunch Clock distributed to the front-end electronics of the LHC experiments is one of the most classical questions discussed within electronics and applied physics communities. Jitter and phase-noise are complex concepts, composed of numerous sub-categories which can variously impact systems. This paper will deal with jitter and phase-noise, specifically applied to...

47. The AMC13 Module: A Common Solution for Clock, Controls and DAQ Services in CMS MicroTCA Systems

Eric Shearer Hazen (Boston University (US))

Oral

We have developed a custom MicroTCA module which provides timing, control, trigger and data acquisition functions in a MicroTCA crate for CMS experiment upgrades. This module mounts in the redundant MCH slot in a MicroTCA crate, and distributes LHC RF clock and encoded fast timing signals to 12 AMC modules. Data are collected from AMC modules using a MicroTCA fabric and transmitted to the CMS...

65. Recent developments for the Upgrade of the LHCb readout system

Jean-Pierre Cachemiche (Universite d'Aix - Marseille II (FR))

19/09/2012, 12:00

Oral

The LHCb collaboration has chosen to evaluate the ATCA architecture as form-factor for the LHCb readout system. A same board can satisfy all the requirements for data transmission, timing and fast control as well as slow control. First developments rely on a generic ATCA carrier board equipped with four dense AMC mezzanine able to interface a total of 144 bidirectional optical links at up to...
