The MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA industry standards are candidate platforms for modular electronics for the upgrade of the current generation of high energy physics experiments. The PH-ESE group at CERN launched in 2011 the xTCA evaluation project with the aim of performing technical evaluations and eventually providing support for commercially available components. Different devices from...

The Gigabit Link Interface Board (GLIB) project is an FPGA-based platform for users of high-speed optical links in high energy physics (HEP) experiments. The project delivers hardware, firmware/software and documentation as well as provides user support. These resources facilitate the development of evaluation platforms of optical links in the laboratory as well as triggering and/or data...

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) are a promising solution for space-borne mm-wave astronomy. To optimize their design and reduce the impact of the primary Cosmic Rays interaction with the substrate, the phonon propagation in the silicon substrate must be studied. A dedicated fast readout electronics, using channelized Digital Down Conversion for monitoring up to 16 MKIDs over a...

The Mu3e experiment searches for charged lepton flavor violation in the rare decay mu->eee with a projected sensitivity of 10^-16. Precise measurement of the decay product momentum, decay vertex and time is necessary for background suppression at rates of 10^9 muons/s. This can be achieved by combining an ultra-lightweight pixel tracker based on HV-MAPS with two timing systems. The...

During the shutdown of the ATLAS scintillating Tile calorimeter (TileCal) in 2013/14 one of its ondetector electronic modules will be replaced with a compatible hybrid module, which also serves as a demonstrator for future upgrades. This is being built to fulfill all requirements for the complete upgrade of the TileCal electronics in 2022 but augmented to stay compatible with the present...

The Phase-I luminosity upgrade of the LHC, planned for 2018, requires an improved trigger performance of the LHC detectors in order to suppress increasing pile-up noise. In the Phase-I upgrade of the read-out electronics of the ATLAS LAr Calorimeters high-granularity signals are provided to the Calorimeter trigger system for improved trigger feature extraction. The general design of the future...

The upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at LHC foresees the insertion of an innermost silicon layer, called Insertable B-layer (IBL). IBL read-out system will be equipped with new electronics. The Readout-Driver card (ROD) is a VME board devoted to data processing, configuration and control. A pre-production batch has been delivered in order to perform tests with instrumented slices of the overall...

The LHCb experiment has proposed an upgrade of its detector in order to collect data at ten times its initial design luminosity. The current readout architecture will be upgraded by removing the existing first-level hardware trigger whose efficiency is limited for hadronic channels at high luminosity. The new readout system will record every LHC bunch crossing and send data to a trigger...

CERN's accelerator control group has embraced "Open Hardware" (OH) to facilitate peer review, avoid vendor lock-in and make support tasks scalable. A web-based tool for easing collaborative work was set up and the CERN OH Licence was created. New ADC, TDC, Fine delay and carrier cards based on VITA and PCI-SIG standards were designed and drivers for Linux were written. Often industry was paid...

The global design process of high-energy physics experiments typically follows three overlapping stages consisting of detector modeling, detector integration and services implementation phases.
This process sometimes results in unexpected interactions between subsystems. At the CMS experiment at CERN we have had over two years of operational experience during which time we have observed...

A new front-end electronics is under development for the SPS Multi Orbit POsition System (MOPOS). Based on logarithmic amplifiers, it allows to measure the beam position and to resolve the multi-batch structure of the SPS beams. Analogue data are digitized at 10 MS/s and packed in frames by an FPGA. On every turn, a frame is sent to the readout board, via a 2.4 Gb/s optical transmission link....
