This update outlines the development progress of the FEE64 electronics and PCB layout for the prototype fixture at TBU. As of June 9th, 77% of signals are routed, with key components nearing completion: memory (95%), Gbit Ethernet (90%), and ADC output signals (100%). Upcoming milestones include finalizing routing by June 30th, completing engineering review by July 7th, and submitting to manufacturers. Collaborative efforts with the Detector Systems Development Group are enhancing performance, particularly in Gbit data rate and system boot capabilities. Development of a DMA peripheral and fixture for software development progresses.

PCB Layout Progress April 30th : 49% signals routed June 9th : 77% signals routed • Complete memory 95% complete – power and decoupling • Gbit Ethernet. 90% complete – power and decoupling • ADC output signals to the FPGA. 100% complete • Discriminator signal connections to the FPGA 100% complete • Mezzanine connector signal definition 60% complete • Clock distribution to the ADCs 100% complete • Power supply blocks and delivery planes. • FPGA configuration memory. • Temperature sensors, RS232, LEDs etc.
PCB layout targets • June 30th : • Complete routing and layout. • Submit to manufacturer for validation and quote. • Submit to assembler for evaluation of assembly and final parts purchase. • July 7th : • Complete engineering review. • July14th : • Submit to pcb manufacturer and assembler. • August 17th : • Assembled FEE64 delivered.
Collaboration with Detector Systems Development Group of TBU.(Technology Business Unit ) Currently : • Gbit data rate from memory on the devkit => 240Mbit/sec . • System boots with fallback to golden copy. • Pin allocation of FEE64 memory and Gbit signals checked. Next steps : • Create a DMA peripheral and check performance. • Create a memory test and configuration system.
Prototype fixture for softwaredevelopment • Pin out and advice provided by Steve Thomas. • Fixture will allow communications between the ASIC and Linux to be developed. • Mux readout logic VHDL can also be developed. • Design and manufacture of fixture in progress in DL electronic workshops. • Delivery mid June. Fixture comprises a ZIF socket on a pcb designed to mount a packaged ASIC onto an ML507 FPGA development board.
