The ATLAS Tile Calorimeter is a sampling detector composed by cells made of iron-scintillator tiles. The calorimeter cell signals are digitized in the front-end electronics and transmitted to the Read-Out Drivers (RODs) at the first level trigger rate. The ROD receives triggered data from up to 9856 channels and provides the energy, phase and quality factor of the signals to the second level trigger...
Configurable system-on-chip (SoC) solutions based on state-of-the art FPGA are a good candidate to fulfill the requirements of future high end onboard payload applications. Reliability, performance and flexibility provided by SoCs can be further extended using a new communication paradigm, the network-on-a-chip (NoC). NoCs have the potential to solve the scalability problem of traditional on-chip...
This paper presents the architecture and the status of the optical multiplexer board (OMB) for the ATLAS/LHC Tile hadronic calorimeter (TileCal). This board will analyze the front-end data CRC to prevent bit and burst errors produced by radiation. Besides, due to its position within the data acquisition chain it will be used to emulate front-end data for tests. The first two prototypes of the final...
