Performance of the Tile PreProcessor Demonstrator for the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter Phase II Upgrade

摘要

The Tile Calorimeter PreProcessor demonstrator is a high performance double AMC board based on FPGAresources and QSFP modules. This board has been designed in the framework of theATLAS Tile Calorimeter Demonstrator project for the Phase IIUpgrade as the first stage of the back-end electronics. The TilePPr demonstrator has been conceived to receive and process the data coming from the front-end electronics of the TileCal Demonstrator module, as well as to configure it. Moreover, the TilePPr demonstrator handles the communication with the Detector Control System to monitor and control the front-end electronics. The TilePPr demonstrator represents 1/8 of the final TilePPr that will be designed and installed into the detector for the ATLAS Phase II Upgrade.
