108. Register-Like Block RAM: Implementation, Testing in FPGA and Applications for High Energy Physics Trigger Systems

Jinyuan Wu (Fermi National Accelerator Lab. (US))

Front End Electronics and Fast Digitizers

Oral presentation

In high energy physics experiment trigger systems, block memories are utilized for various purposes, especially in indexed searching algorithms. It is often demanded to globally reset all memory locations between different events which is a feature not supported in regular block memories. Another common demand is to be able to update the contents in any memory location in a single clock...

15. A 3.9 ps RMS Resolution Time-to-Digital Convertor Using Dual-sampling Method on Kintex UltraScale FPGA

Front End Electronics and Fast Digitizers

Oral presentation

The principle of tapped-delay line (TDL) style field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based time-to-digital converters (TDC) requires finer delay granularity for higher time resolution. Given a tapped delay line constructed with carry chains in an FPGA, it is desirable to find a solution subdividing the intrinsic delay elements further, so that the TDC can achieve a time resolution beyond its...

78. Timing distribution and Data Flow for the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter Phase II Upgrade

Fernando Carrio Argos (Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular (ES))

Data Acquisition

Oral presentation

The Hadronic Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) detector is one of the several subsystems composing the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC upgrade program plans an increase of order five times the LHC nominal instantaneous luminosity culminating in the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). In order to accommodate the detector to the new HL-LHC parameters, the TileCal read out...

156. The TOTEM precision clock distribution system.

Front End Electronics and Fast Digitizers

Oral presentation

To further extend the measurement potentialities for the experiment at luminosities where the pile-up and multiple tracks in the proton detectors make it difficult to identify and disentangle real diffractive events from other event topologies, TOTEM has proposed to add a timing measurement capability to measure the time-of-flight difference between the two outgoing protons. For such a...

197. A Programmable Read-out chain for Multichannel Analog front-end ASICs

Mr Francesco Caponio (Nuclear Instruments)

Front End Electronics and Fast Digitizers

Oral presentation

In this contribution we introduce an innovative multiplexed ASICs read-out system based on 32 analog channels sampling at 40 MHz with 12 bits resolution and 96 digital I/O with selectable voltage standard ranging from differential signaling and 1.8 or 3.3 V CMOS. The ADCs and ASICs read-out is managed by a Kintex-7 FPGA and the communication with the host computer relies on the fast USB 3...
