Abstract

In this study, a remote FPGA-configuration method based on JTAG extension over optical fibers is presented. The method takes advantage of commercial components and ready-to-use software such as iMPACT and does not require any hardware or software development. The method combines the advantages of the slow remote JTAG configuration and the fast local flash memory configuration. The method has been verified successfully and used in the Demonstrator of Liquid-Argon Trigger Digitization Board (LTDB) for the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter Phase-I trigger upgrade. All components on the FPGA side are verified to meet the radiation tolerance requirements.

Development of an ADC radiation tolerance characterization system for the upgrade of the ATLAS LAr calorimeter

Journal Article Liu, Hong-Bin ; Chen, Hu-Cheng ; Chen, Kai ; ... - Chinese Physics C, High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics

ATLAS LAr calorimeter will undergo its Phase-I upgrade during the long shutdown (LS2) in 2018, and a new LAr Trigger Digitizer Board (LTDB) will be designed and installed. Several commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multi-channel high-speed ADCs have been selected as possible backups of the radiation tolerant ADC ASICs for the LTDB. Here, to evaluate the radiation tolerance of these backup commercial ADCs, we developed an ADC radiation tolerance characterization system, which includes the ADC boards, data acquisition (DAQ) board, signal generator, external power supplies and a host computer. The ADC board is custom designed for different ADCs, with ADC drivers and clockmore »« less

Radiation Tolerant Electronics and Digital Processing for the Phase-1 Read-out Upgrade of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeters

Conference Milic, A.

The ATLAS Liquid Argon calorimeters are designed and built to study proton-proton collisions produced at the LHC at centre-of-mass energies up to 14 TeV. Liquid argon (LAr) sampling calorimeters are employed for all electromagnetic calorimetry in the pseudorapidity region |η|<3.2, and for hadronic calorimetry in the region from |η|=1.5 to |η|=4.9. Although the nominal LHC experimental programme is still in progress, an upgrade of the read-out electronics is being launched to cope with luminosities of up to 3x10{sup 34} cm{sup -2}s{sup -1}, which are beyond the original design by a factor of 3. An improved spatial granularity of the triggermore »« less
Design and Evaluation of the LAr Trigger Digitizer Board in the ATLAS Phase-I Upgrade

Journal Article Besin, Dominique ; Chen, Hucheng ; Chen, Kai ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

The Phase-I upgrade of the trigger readout electronics for the ATLAS Liquid Argon (LAr) calorimeters will be installed during the second long shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2019-2020 which will enable enhanced instantaneous luminosities during LHC Run 3 from 2021 through 2023. In this trigger upgrade, so-called supercells are introduced to provide higher granularity, higher resolution and longitudinal shower shape information from the LAr calorimeters to the Level-1 trigger processors. A new LAr Trigger Digitizer Board (LTDB) will process and digitize up to 320 channels of supercell signals, and transmit them via 40 fiber optical links tomore »« less

The implementation of Global Feature EXtractor (gFEX) - the ATLAS Calorimeter Level 1 Trigger system for LHC Run-3 upgrade

Journal Article Tang, S. ; Begel, M. ; Chen, H. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

As part of the ATLAS Phase-I Upgrade, the global Feature EXtractor (gFEX) is one of several hardware modules designed to help maintain the ATLAS Level-1 trigger acceptance rate with the increasing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity and the increasing Pile-Up conditions. The gFEX is used to identify patterns of energy associated with the hadronic decays of high momentum Higgs, W & Z bosons, top quarks, and exotic particles in real time at the 40 MHz LHC bunch crossing rate. The board is required to receive coarse-granularity (Δη×Δphiv = 0.2×0.2 gTower) information from the entire ATLAS calorimeters on 276 optical fibers.more »« less

Development of COTS ADC SEE Test System for the ATLAS LArCalorimeter Upgrade

Journal Article Hu, Xue -Ye ; Chen, Hu -Cheng ; Chen, Kai ; ... - Nuclear Science and Techniques

Radiation-tolerant, high speed, high density and low power commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are planned to be used in the upgrade to the Liquid Argon (LAr) calorimeter front end (FE) trigger readout electronics. Total ionization dose (TID) and single event effect (SEE) are two important radiation effects which need to be characterized on COTS ADCs. In our initial TID test, Texas Instruments (TI) ADS5272 was identified to be the top performer after screening a total 17 COTS ADCs from different manufacturers with dynamic range and sampling rate meeting the requirements of the FE electronics. Another interesting feature of ADS5272more »« less
