Internal Global Clock Distribution
•Clock reference input from the Pre-Processor core board using Laser link.
•The idea is to use Sinusoidal clock through a Jitter smoother and a Mini-circuit splitter
•Distribute to the Flash ADCs via cable.
•Passive Filter to transform the square wave input to a sinusoidal signal

Laser Trial Test and Results
•Designed the Laser Trial board with four Laser modules.
•Used Xilinx recommended PCB connection parameters for the 2Gbit/sec connections from the Virtex2Pro BGA to the Laser modules.
•Test connection to a Xilinx Development board:16 bit data from counter incrementing at 100MhzThree channels operating independently.Receiver tracks the data, checking each value received.Transmitter and receiver share the same clock.
•Ran for 8 days with no errors. 6.9 x 1013 Transfers per link

Slow Control
External interfaces: Xport module• Galvanically isolated serial link over 10/100baseT physical layer.
• Experiment control for the digitiser.
• Laboratory and diagnostic access.
Internal interfaces : Serial link• Link is Clock, Data, Frame signals
• Simple protocol developed at Liverpool. Connects all FPGAs using Star topology.
Requests all generate an Acknowledge.
Timeout with reset of link.
Long write to allow re-program of FPGA.

Schedule
Patrick Coleman-Smith CCLRC Daresbury17
Some Remaining Questions
1. Offset Control link protocol
2. Segment and Core data link start-up protocol, and how to respond to failures.
3. Global clock link start-up and calibration
4. Pre-Amp Interface - Pulser Control
5. Slow Control External interface protocol
6. Mechanical mounting on the Apparatus
