Description

We report on the design and development of two electronics boards for the Endcap Muon Cathode Strip Chamber detector at CMS. One, the Muon Port Card, performs sorting “3 best patterns out of 18” and another one, the Muon Sorter, performs sorting “4 best patterns out of 36”. The selected output patterns are sent to a higher level of the trigger system in a ranked order. Both boards are based on Xilinx FPGA devices. The functionality of the sorter boards and results of recent bench, integration and beam tests are presented.
