As part of the ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter trigger (L1Calo) Phase-I upgrade, the Preprocessor system is being extended with new Tile Rear Extension (TREX) modules.
For every bunch-crossing, the TREX provides digitized energy data from the Tile hadronic calorimeter to the new L1Calo feature extractor processors via high-speed optical links at 11.2 Gbps.
The TREX is equipped with a Kintex...
The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) is part of the ATLAS detector and is the central hadronic calorimeter. The Tile PreProcessor (TilePPr) is the core of the TileCal off-detector electronics for High luminosity LHC. The TilePPr is composed of several FPGA-based boards to operate and readout the on-detector electronics. As part of the TilePPr module, the Gigabit Ethernet switch (TileGbE) mezzanine...
The Global Feature Extractor (gFEX) is a hardware module that will be installed in the Phase-I Upgrade of the ATLAS experiment to maximise the trigger capabilities and flexibility for selecting events containing large-radius jets, typical of Lorentz-boosted objects. The gFEX makes use of a single module to cover the entire pseudorapidity range of the ATLAS calorimeter. This allows for...
The RCE (Reconfigurable Cluster Element) platform is a general-purpose system-on-chip data acquisition system, varying from a compact standalone bench-top form to ATCA compliant system. It is broadly deployed by several experiments, such as ATLAS, LCLS, LSST, HPS, and ProtoDUNE. We present a new generation bench-top RCE system, including a Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC board and a custom FMC...
In this talk, we will cover the development of a variety of SoC type high speed waveform digitizers designed with modularity in mind for large experiments. These microchips digitize, readout and process regions of interest of waveforms at 1-12 GSa/s at power and size constraints desired for particle physics applications. The chips are normally divided into 3 sections: analog input stages,...
