Muon System Example
• Digitized detector data is overthreshold (ASDQ)
• Each FEB is 32 channels. 32 channels equals 1 plank.
• 69120 System Channels Total
• 2160 FEBs
• 13 FEBs for each DCB. 13 FEBs equals 1 octant.
• 167 DCBs

Summary of Other Systems
• RICH: DCB combines 6 FEBs. Each FEB is 163 channels.
• Straws: DCB combines 8 FEBs. Each FEB is 32 channels.
• EM Calorimeter: DCB and FEB are combined into a single board. Each DCB/FEB is 32 channels.

FEB/DCB Functional Summary
• Front End Boards (FEBs) digitize detector data every beam crossing (132ns) and send all data to a Data Combiner Board (DCB).
• DCBs connect multiple FEBs. They receive the digitized detector data, combine all data (sparsified) from the same BXNG and send it as a data block to the L1 Buffer (or trigger) via a 2Gbps optical serial link.
• DCBs receive timing and control commands from a control/timing link, control FEB components, and return monitoring information back to the BTeV Timing/Control and Monitoring System.

Key Advantages
• Greatly reduce cable mass by combining data from many detector channels close to the detector into a single high speed optical data link.
• Architecture allows for “simple” FEBs resulting in higher reliability in difficult to access areas.
• Standard optical components (data link, control/timing link, and monitoring link) allow for interchangeable parts across systems and less development/debug time.
• TMC2 FPGA is functionally similar across each system allowing for common firmware resulting in less development/debug time.
