====== Summary of FEB version 1 debugging ====== ===== Schematic issues ===== * Missing control signals on regulator ⇒ by passed hardwarely * One missing pull up on NOR32 per ASIC ⇒ Fixed externally * HDMI signals direction ⇒ Use alternative signal entries on FPGA and patch MDCC accordingly * 11 Mhz calibration clock missing ⇒ oscillator added on spare entry * Jitter-cleaner chip unstability ⇒ By passed, used either an additional 40 Mhz oscillator or MDCC clock directly ===== Issue with high (>24) number of channels ===== * Signal TAP (multi channels internal logic analyzer) unstabilties * Initially we thought it is firmware related. Lot of time lost in trying to understand fluctuant behaviours * Identified the source to a 400 MHz clock unstabilities ⇒ Internal to the FPGA * Vcc core drops from 1.1 V to 0.95 V when more than 24 channels used * We first change the regulator ⇒ same problem * **''Routing issue:''** Strip line from regulator to FPGA too resistive ⇒ bring directly the 1.1 V to the FPGA ⇒ SOLVED ===== First firmwares tested ===== ==== Mapping ==== |PCB 44 strips|FE2PR|PR|PR_IN|remap|TDC| |T1|back21|1|CH21|B10|0| |B1|back20|1|ch20|A10|1| |T2|back23|1|ch23|E10|2| |B2|back22|1|ch22|D10|3| |T3|back25|1|ch25|A11|4| |B3|back24|1|ch24|F10|5| |T4|back27|1|ch27|D11|6| |B4|back26|1|ch26|B11|7| |T5|back29|1|ch29|A12|8| |B5|back28|1|ch28|F11|9| |T6|back31|1|ch31|D12|10| |B6|back30|1|ch30|D15|11| |T7|front17|1|ch1|A2|12| |B7|Front16|1|ch0|C1|13| |T8|front19|1|ch3|B3|14| |B9|front18|1|ch2|A3|15| |T9|front21|1|ch5|B5|16| |B9|front20|1|ch4|A5|17| |T10|front23|1|ch7|B6|18| |B10|front22|1|ch6|A6|19| |T11|front26|1|ch10|C7|20| |B11|front24|1|ch8|C6|21| |T12|Front31|1|ch15|C8|22| |B12|front28|1|ch12|E7|23| |T13|back5|2|ch21|A28|24| |B13|back4|2|ch20|B28|25| |T14|back7|2|ch23|D29|26| |B14|back6|2|ch22|E29|27| |T15|back9|2|ch25|B29|28| |B15|back8|2|ch24|C29|29| |T16|back11|2|ch27|E30|30| |B16|back10|2|ch26|F30|31| |T17|back13|2|ch29|B30|32| |B17|back12|2|ch28|D30|33| |T18|back15|2|ch31|B31|34| |B18|back14|2|ch30|C31|35| |T19|front1|2|ch1|B24|36| |B19|front0|2|ch0|D24|37| |T20|Front3|2|ch3|E25|38| |B20|front2|2|ch2|F25|39| |T21|front5|2|ch5|B25|40| |B21|front4|2|ch4|D25|41| |T22|front7|2|ch7|F26|42| |B22|front6|2|ch6|A25|43| |T23|front10|2|ch10|B26|44| |B23|front8|2|ch8|D26|45| |T24|front14|2|ch14|D27|46| |B24|front12|2|ch12|F27|47| **''Carefull: The 2 chips don't have the same mapping''** ==== 48 channels latched (rising edge only) ==== === Pedestals === == FEBv2_1 channel per channel 745460 == {{ :oct2018:run745460_allstrip2_1.png?600 |}} {{ :oct2018:run745460_allstrip2_2.png?600 |}} == FEBv2_7 channel per channel 745463 == {{ :oct2018:run745463_allstrip2_1.png?600 |}} {{ :oct2018:run745463_allstrip2_2.png?600 |}} == FEBv2_8 channel per channel 745464 == {{ :oct2018:run745464_allstrip2_1.png?600 |}} {{ :oct2018:run745464_allstrip2_2.png?600 |}} == FEBv2_8 all channels 745465 == {{ :oct2018:run745465_allstrip2_1.png?600 |}} {{ :oct2018:run745465_allstrip2_2.png?600 |}} ==== Injection tests ==== === Injection board === It is functionnal but no possibility to modulate the FPGA output voltage ⇒ No pedestal/gain curve. Patch with additional buffers will be tested soon Time calibration feasible. ==== 2018/11/09 Status & plans ==== * ''Debugging Petiroc FSM'' (deadlock). Lengthly due to compilation time with 48 channels (2h) * ''Next week'': * Complete time calibration * Re test ToT version * Transfer the board to Cern and connect it on the return chamber (additional boards are still in cabling since some components are now missing in the cabling company) * Repeat noise and calibration tests * Check efficiency curves and position resolution * ''Before Xmas break'': * Check GBT capabilities (No need to have fully debugged readout, but 5 Gb/s transfer + TDCs) * Re submit the board with all corrections * Confirm all the fixes before submitting V2 * Will be used for R&D RPCs ==== 2018/11/11 Debugging ==== Still unstable PETIROC FSM with 48 channels * Working with small time window or with low rate, dead lock in all other cases * Working with 16 channels
