Description
In 2010, FGC2 failure rate predictions based on LHC failure data have shown a need for a new radiation-tolerant power converter controller. For the new system, the electrical reliability and radiation-induced failure rate requirements were defined to achieve a target reliability for the HL-LHC era.
This talk will present main steps of the FGClite design: form specification, prototyping and radiation qualification, through mass production, test and reliability demonstration to commissioning and operations of both hardware and software.
A first feedback from operations and future performance will be presented as well as lessons learned for future projects.
