In February 2016, the SuperKEKB positron-electron high-luminosity collider of the KEK laboratory (Tsukuba, Japan) started being commissioned. A dedicated commissioning detector, named BEAST2, has been used to characterize beam backgrounds before the Belle2 detector is rolled into the beams and to provide tuning parameters for Monte Carlo simulations. BEAST2 consists of a fiberglass support structure...
High-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are key components in a huge variety of systems, including trigger and data acquisition (TDAQ) systems of Nuclear and Sub-nuclear Physics experiments. Over the last decades, the sample rate and dynamic range of high-speed ADCs underwent a continuous growth and it required the development of suitable interface protocols, such as the new JESD204B serial...
In this paper, we focused on the GTX transceiver modules of Xilinx Kintex 7 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which provide high bandwidth, low jitter on the recovered clock, and an equalization system on the transmitter and the receiver. We present a frequency agile, auto-adaptive serial link. The link is able to take care of the reconfiguration of the GTX parameters in order to fully benefit...
Modern FPGA devices, with high-speed multi-gigabit transceiver resources, together with great amount of logic gates, clock conditioning modules, availability of RAM memory blocks and re-programmability on the field, are among the most widely used electronics components in the Trigger and Data Acquisition systems in High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments.
S-LINK [1] is a custom data transmission protocol developed at CERN, which has been used in some of the data acquisition systems of the LHC experiments. S-LINK was released in the late '90s and is based on a simple FIFO-like user interface, which remains independent of the technology used to implement the physical layer.
