The document outlines the specifications and design of the Synchronization & Control Board (SCB) for RPC electronics, emphasizing its integration with the Front-End (FE) board. It details power consumption metrics, communication channels, HV and LV distribution requirements, and monitoring of digital parameters. Key milestones are provided for the development and testing phases of the FE chip and related electronics. The system is designed for fault tolerance and is capable of supporting multiple channels for efficient operation within the RPC framework.

HV System requirements • Maximum number of HV channels ~ 4000 • Max value = 12.000 V • Imax = .5 mA/channel • Magnetic field inside ironB = 1.8 Tesla • Possibility to switch off one sub-channel only • Single rate counting for each sub-channel: (desirable) • Rad-hard devices necessary ? (not necessary for RPC) • Fault tolerant system (redundancy): (desirable) • HV & LV system crates on the balcony around the detector RPC_CMS HV & LV Distribution A. Ranieri / RPC-CMS
