A plug-in module has been built for reception of optically
transmitted data by
gigabit applications. The optical receiving module is
based on a 12-channel optical
receiver and an FPGA with embedded deserializers. It is
compatible with the G-Link
and Gigabit Ethernet compliant serializer ASIC (GOL)
used by many LHC systems. Due
to its compact design, several of these modules...

PCI Express is a new I/O technology for desktop,
mobile, server and communications platforms designed
to allow
increasing levels of computer system performance. The
serial nature of its links and the packet based protocols
allows an easy geographical decoupling of a peripheral
device. We have investigated the possibility of using an
optical
physical layer for the PCI Express,...

The TTC (Timing, Trigger and Control) system
broadcasts the timing signals from the
LHC machine to the experiments. Once at the detector
level, it integrates the trigger
information and local synchronous commands with
these signals, for transmission to
several thousands of destinations. The equipment for
this second part of the system
is fully produced, but the main network between...

This presentation aims to describe the architecture of
the final optical
multiplexer
board (also known as preROD) for the TileCal
experiment. The results of the first
VME 6U prototype have led to the definition of the final
block diagram and
functionality of this prototype. Functional description of
constituent blocks and
the state of the work currently undergoing at the...
