“…Both electrical behaviour, with emphasis on the noise and signal-to-noise performance, and the cooling performance are being studied and the design is qualified or optimized, if necessary. currently PCI mezzanine cards (PMC) are used for readout and control (PMCFED [7] and PMCFEC) instead of the final VMEbus cards. These PMC have no implementation of optical conversion, thus additional opto-electrical converters are necessary.…”

With a total area of 210 squaremeters and about 15000 single silicon modules the silicon strip tracker of the CMS experiment at the LHC will be the largest silicon strip detector ever built. While the performance of the individual mechanical and electronic components has already been tested extensively, their interplay in larger integrated substructures also has to be studied before mass production can be launched, in order to ensure the envisaged performance of the overall system. This is the main purpose of the system tests, during which hardware components as final as possible are being integrated into substructures of the tracker subsystems. System tests are currently being carried out for all subsystems of the tracker. In addition, silicon modules and electronic components have been operated and studied in a particle beam environment. In this report results from the CMS silicon tracker system tests and a test beam experiment at CERN are presented.

Backplane buses are becoming a legacy for high-rate, high-volume data processing applications. Higher efficiency at lower cost is offered by the PCI bus technology, compared to crate-embedded processors. Becoming part of the plug&play domain of the host's operating system, no additional data transfer protocols are needed. We have combined the PCI technology with high-density field-programmable gate array (FPGA) logic and common mezzanine standards on a flexible PCI card. First applications cover readout controllers for legacy bus protocols, high-speed link I/O and fast analog input data conversion. An FPGA with embedded PCI master/target core serves as programmable interface between the PCI bus, mezzanine cards, and a local SDRAM. Adapter mezzanine cards, implemented according to the IEEE P1386 or similar common standards, are used for voltage level conversion, trigger interfacing or preprocessing. The application-dependent controller functions as well as SDRAM and PCI interfacing are handled by FPGA logic. A Linux driver was developed to achieve high bandwidth via CPU-initiated transfers. Control software for Windows and an interface for LabView target control and monitoring applications via graphical interfaces. First experience and applications will be reported.

The Compact Muon Solenoid experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will include a Silicon Strip Tracker covering a sensitive area of 206 m 2 with about 9.3 million channels. The particle signals are read out by APV25 front-end chips and transferred to the processing units using approximately 37,000 optical links over a distance of about 100 m.In order to convert the electrical signals to intensity-modulated light, roughly 15,000 optohybrids with 2 or 3 channels each will be distributed in the Tracker volume. These devices are designed to operate at −10• C in a magnetic field of 4 T and the harsh radiation environment of CMS with good linearity and low noise. Single-mode optical fibers will guide the light to 12-way pin diode arrays converting it back to electrical signals for digitization and processing. Custom-specific optoelectronics and ASICs are involved on both ends of the optical links.Presented at 9th Pisa Meeting on Advanced Detectors,
