RPC Electronics: Technical Trigger Outline: • RPC-based Technical Trigger • Principles of operation • Implementation • MTCC readiness Flavio Loddo I. N. F. N. Bari On behalf of the RPC-Trigger group Annual Review Cern -June 13 th, 2006 F. Loddo I. N. F. N. Bari
RPC Technical Trigger Goal of this project is to produce an RPC-based cosmic ray trigger for the Commissioning of RPCs, the Cosmic Challenge and later running of CMS as Technical Trigger The project started recently, when electronics and cabling in the cavern were defined and frozen ↓ Use existing infrastructure (as much as possible) and don’t introduce major modifications to the existing electronics (Link Boards) Annual Review Cern -June 13 th, 2006 F.

RBC Implementation • The RPC signal cables (LVDS) are connected to the Link Boards (LB) for synchronization, data compression and optical conversion • Each LB reads 96 strips (1 bi-gap = half/chamber) and can produce 1 OR to be used for our goal • Each LBBox (LBB) houses 13 or 15 (sect. 4 and 10) LBs of 1 Barrel Sector • The LBBs are distributed in the 30 periphery racks in groups of 2: one odd sector and one even sector We can house 1 RBC/rack 1 RBC/2 sect 30 RBCs in total Annual Review Cern -June 13 th, 2006 F.

RBC testing for MTCC • Because of long distance (150 m) between Detector and “Green Barrack” during MTCC, we could send the Technical Trigger in LVPECL, that is more robust than LVDS and introduce optocouplers to cut ground loops RBC LVDSLVPECL Transceiv. 150 m (shielded twisted cable) LVPECL Receiv.

RPC Trigger Board as TTU These functions are performed by the RPC Trigger Board: • TTU needs: 1. 30 signals from detector: 1. 6 GHz GOL drive multimode fiber; 2. each fiber transfers 26 or 28 bits @ 40 MHz; 3. Signals must be synchronized; 4. Pattern logic to make cosmic trigger • RPC Trigger Board offers: 1. 18 inputs: 1. 6 GHz GOL driven multimode fiber; 2. Opto synch FPGA for every 3 optical inputs; 3. Transmission to PAC mezzanine boards (VHDL code) 4. VHDL code for Internal Interace (for VME driven internal bus and software tools) Annual Review Cern -June 13 th, 2006 F. Loddo I. N. F. N. Bari
RPC Trigger Board as TTU 1. 3 TBs can be used to cover the whole Barrel, using 12 links per TB 2. The Stratix 2 PAC mezzanine board gives very big space for algorithm (1 or 2 should be enough) 3. TTU custom backplane (for TTCrx and to send out the Trigger) but be designed, but can be derived from the design of TB backplane Annual Review Cern -June 13 th, 2006 F. Loddo I. N. F. N. Bari
Conclusions The RPC Technical Trigger project is under progress: • 3 RPC Balcony Collector (RBC) prototypes are available for MTCC • The full production is expected to be available before the end of 2006 • The design of the new firmware for the Trigger Board-TTU will start in few weeks Annual Review Cern -June 13 th, 2006 F.
