CMS FED TestingSignal before the link

200mV (V+-V- =400mV ) differential signal with no offset.higher bandwidth ringing and faster rise/fall time.Time scale is relative to the scope trigger point on all plots.

CMS FED TestingSignal after the link

Single ended, with offset.No ringing but slower rise/fall times

CMS FED Testing

Signal noise/jitter after the link

Note:no scale on the width of the line. This is an impression of the infinite persistence scope trace => spread unknown. (Measurements are real).

CMS FED TestingRise time, 10% to 90% of full scale.

CMS FED TestingFall time 90% to 10% of full scale

CMS FED TestingLinearity: link is being operated in the linear region of the Tx/Rx

Settings: x0, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5=0,0,0,0,1 (recommended by CERN)

CMS FED TestingZoom in of the 1 MIP signal upon its pedestal

Approx:

Pedestal value here is 509 lsbs, 4096 levels in 405mV0.099mV/lsb

1 MIP 4096/8=512 lsbs

Total signal=570+(405/4096)*(509+512)=570+0.099*1021=671mV

Summary

Have a complete working single fibre, possible to drive 4 with identical signals using the current Opto-Tx.

Possible to obtain a further 2 of the 4 channel prototypes from CERN complete 12 channels could in principle be driven with identical signals.

Work is in progress to produce an application specific version of the SEQSIsimpler operationlonger RAM pipelineclean/synchronous stop from VMEpossible stepping through

Future Work

Have 1 (untested) Opto-Rx emulator to drive the analogue stage of the FED directly over copper (I.e. eliminating the optical link)

Temperature: have observed significant temperature variation of the signal =>Define the laser temperature stability requirements for testing

Verify DAC Linearity: Summer student

More thought into a test vectors and their comparison with the FED output
