Minutes of the Forward Endcap EMC SADC Crate Design Vibe/eZuce meeting, 20th of April 2020, 14:00-14:30

Presence:

• Bochum: Tom, Matthias, Claudius, Fritz-Herbert, Malte, Miriam, Tobias H., Tobias T., Sebastian, Thorsten
• Basel: -
• Bonn: Christoph, Johannes
• Groningen: -
• Uppsala: Pawel
• Giessen: Markus

Bochum:

• Preamp cabling going on at home
• Preamp-capsule mounting going on at home
• Drawings for SADC crate parts and mounting tools are prepared for submission to mechanics workshop

Bonn:

• Housekeeping work on the teststands
• I2C traffic effects on submodule data? Tests ongoing in Bonn.

Giessen:

• APD irradiation restarts this week
• Christoph would also like to irradiate HV regulator related parts (needs to wait for re-permission of business travels)

Uppsala:

• Work on SADC crate controller: combined control/sync/data throughput (instead of SFP cage links)
  • Either Xylinx FPGA with high speed link being able to communicate via fibre plus conventional communication withs ADCs
  • Or non-Xylinx FPGA-type which is radiation hard by design
• Work on more resource efficient feature extraction
