Description

This workshop will be dedicated to electronic issues for upgrades, focusing on subjects where common features or developments are likely. Developments for upgrades for proton-proton and heavy ion running for Phase I and for high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be included.

The following main areas will be covered:

  • Front-end electronics developments for Phase I and HL-LHC
  • Electronics systems for triggering at Phase I and HL-LHC, including level-1 tracking trigger and the use of modular electronics standards such as xTCA
  • Electronics systems for DAQ and DCS at HL-LHC
  • High precision timing measurement and clock distribution systems
  • Optical and electrical links
  • Power distribution and low power design techniques
  • IC technologies and radiation hardness issues
  • Progress on upgrades for HL-LHC

The oral presentations will be made by invitation. A poster session will be organised for which abstracts will have to be submitted on the indico page. More details can be obtained in contacting a member of the Programme Committee:

        Rad-Hard Vertical JFET switch for the HV-MUX system of the ATLAS upgrade ITk
        This work presents a new silicon vertical JFET transistor, based on a trenched technology developed at the IMB-CNM, to be used as switch for the High-Voltage power distribution in the ATLAS upgrade Inner Tracker. After a thorough optimization work, performed by TCAD simulations, selected designs have been chosen for device fabrication at the IMB-CNM clean room. The first prototypes have been recently produced, and the first characterization results show excellent agreement with simulation, already meeting the ITk specifications. The technological process and the simulated rad-hard prospects will be also shown.

        Status update and future plans for the GBT-FPGA project at CERN
        The poster focuses on the main release foreseen for June 2016 including the slow control. This feature is used to monitor/control the front-end electronics. It allows configuring the GBTx and communicating with the SCA. One GBT link can be used to control up to 21 SCAs. Different types of commands will be implemented to use all the available interfaces. The poster also report a status on the GBT-FPGA project with the descriptions of the latest releases (support of the latest development tools, bug corrections …) and the plans for the future versions (new FPGAs to be supported).

        The use of the ATLAS Small Wheel front end Electronics for the HL-LHC MDT upgrade
        The use of the ATLAS New Small Wheel electronics readout architecture for the trigger and readout of the Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) detectors of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer in the HL-KHC is proposed. In the core of the proposal is the VMM, the front end ASIC that will be used for bothe Micromegas and sTGC detectors.

        Preliminary Experimental Results of A 14-bit Split-SAR ADC for ATLAS LAr Phase-II Upgrade
        Preliminary experimental results of a 14-bit split-SAR ADC prototype implemented in 65-nm CMOS are reported. Inherent architectural redundancy and the newly proposed SEE-detection circuitry constitute two prominent features of this work for efficient SEE detection and correction (to be experimentally verified). With FIB and foreground calibration, the prototype ADC measured a 74.6-dB peak SNDR and a 97.2-dB SFDR at 40 MSPS for a single channel of the two split paths. More measurements and especially irradiation tests will be performed in the near future.

        Timepix detector network for luminosity monitoring and characterization of the radiation fields within the ATLAS cavern
        A network of 13 Timepix detector based devices consisting of two sensitive sensors interlaced by neutron converter layers was installed at different locations in the ATLAS detector cavern during the recent shut-down. In this poster, we present the calibration measurements (photons, neutrons and ions) of the individual devices, their positions within the ATLAS cavern, the data acquisition scheme, preliminary results of selected devices and the online data visualization.

        Design of low power 12bit 40MSPS SAR ADCs with a redundancy algorithm and digital calibration for high dynamic range calorimeter readout
        We present two SAR ADCs using a generalized redundant search algorithm and offering the flexibility to relax the requirements on the DAC settling time. Two more bits of redundancy allow also a digital calibration, based on a code density analysis to compensate the capacitors mismatching effects. A monotonic switching algorithm is used for these prototypes saving about 70% of dynamic power consumption compared to conventional switching algorithm. A fully differential was used for both prototypes featuring 12bit 40MS/s in a CMOS 130nm 1P8M process.

        The intelligent, FPGA-based event builder and Data Acquisition System of COMPASS – an exemplary system for the future?
        Using FPGA-technology for event building tasks in high-energy physics experiments reduces costs and increases reliability of DAQ-systems. In 2015, COMPASS experiment at CERN’s SPS commissioned a novel, intelligent, FPGA- based DAQ (iFDAQ) in which event building is performed by FPGAs. The highly scalable system is designed to cope with an on-spill data rate of 1.5 GB/s and sustained data rate of 500 MB/s. Its event builder is able to handle front-end errors and to maintain continuous data flow. The intelligent and highly reliable hardware automatically compensates hardware failures and balances load.

        ATLAS LAr Phase II upgrade of the Front End Electronics
        The Phase II upgrade of the ATLAS Liquid Argon detector includes a 17 bit dynamic range front end amplifier with a two or three gain multi‐pole shaper employing CR‐(RC)n shaping. Each gain stage of the shaper will be followed by a 40Msps, 14b dynamic range, 12‐13b ENOB digitizer, serializer and fiber optic driver. A study is underway to see if a single technology (65nm or 130nm CMOS) will be suitable for all blocks up to the optical Link, enabling consideration of the development a Front End System On a Chip (FESOC).
