Optical Link Notes Currently we build with Reflex Photonics SNAP12 Emcore SNAP12 Both 3.5 Gbps Recent news/results Delivery date for Reflex Photonics 6.25 Gbps still +6 weeks First promised for July 1 Both RP and Emcore 3.5 Gbps versions can run at higher speeds Emcore shows better performance (up to 5 Gbps) based on measured BER 2
Optical Link Notes 6.25 Gbps and beyond Measurements with AZ test board 3
Optical Link Notes 6.25 Gbps and beyond Vias degrade eye pattern No difference in trace length or layer 4
Optical Link Notes In order to move to higher optical density we are now designing with Reflex Photonics LightABLE OE OSA is an IC with 12 channel GaAs VCSEL or 12 channel GaAs PIN photodetector Connected electrically via wire bonds Connected optically via MT connector Present 6.25 Gbps Designer provides an electrical footprint on the PCB RP mounts (wirebonds) the OSA OE part and mounting cost is ~$350 / die 5

ATCA Sub-ROD Development (BNL)
ATCA Sub-ROD Development AdvancedTCA 8U Module With separated +5V power connector and Gigabit Ethernet connector on front panel, it allows testing of main functions without ATCA crate IPMI development is underway, received development document and source code from DESY. Even though we use different processor, all the code is in C which helps software porting One module was shipped to Dresden in late June/early July High Speed Parallel Optical Links and FPGA SERDES Self loopback test works at 3.2Gbps on 12 channels, 40Gbps total bandwidth Sub-ROD (and sub-ROD injector) still awaiting 75 Gbps transceiver from Reflex Photonics Present plan is to do sub-ROD and sub-ROD injector integration tests in October using Emcore parts which can run over spec
ATCA Sub-ROD Injector (AZ) Sub-rod injector ATCA card also now available 9
ATCA Sub-ROD Injector (AZ) Testing with test ATCA backplane 10

ATCA Sub-ROD Injector (AZ) Eventual testing in ATCA crate 12
ROD in ATCA/AMC Form Factor Present plan is to build processing units (ROD or ROD injectors) in AMC format on ATCA cards ROBs would also reside in ATCA crate 13
ROD in ATCA/AMC Form Factor AMC cards are Processing Units Contain optical receivers and FPGA based SERDES Perform energy calculations and partial Level-1 sums High speed, low latency connections for Level-1 sums require communication between AMC modules and possibly between different ATCA carriers Processing units can be developed independently of ATCA carrier board (using MicroTCA crate) ATCA Carrier Board Provides connections between AMC modules and also to ATCA backplane Low latency switching protocol Possible connection to ROB via 10G Ethernet Provides connections to rear transition board for Level- 1 sums 14
AMC Card using LOB 15 4 x 12 channels per AMC card Stratix IV has 48 transceiver 8.5 Gbps 4 AMC cards per ATCA (ROD)
AMC Card using LOB 16 4 x 12 channels per AMC card Stratix IV has 48 transceiver 8.5 Gbps 4 AMC cards per ATCA (ROD)
ATCA/AMC Form Factor Working plan is to build ROD (and ROS) cards on ATCA cards ROD receive modules in AMC format ROD injector transmit modules in AMC format ATCA sub-ROD already exists (BNL) ATCA sub-ROD injector now exists (AZ) ATCA sub-ROD injector can also be used to hold sub-ROD injector AMC card 17
sLHC LAr ROD Upgrade R&D Mailing list CERN espace Phone meeting First meeting was organized on Sept. 11 th, people from Univ. of Arizona, BNL, Dresden, LAPP and Stony Brook Univ. were connected Goal was to update what everybody’s been working on and discuss how to proceed Plan to continue this phone meeting once a month
