CMS ECAL FENIX ASIC design methodology
نویسنده
چکیده
A technique estimated to decrease risk when developing complex digital ASICs is presented. Specification errors as well as discrepancy between the product and the specification are addressed. The CMS ECAL FENIX ASIC development [1] is presented as an example. The ASIC features a fully synthesizable and highly testable implementation of triple-redundancy. The RAM blocks are individually tested by a built in self test, and an error correction code is protecting the data integrity during normal operation. The ASIC has been irradiated during operation together with the complete CMS ECAL front end system, and a preliminary result is presented.

Qualification of the Front End Cards for the CMS ECAL
The Front End (FE) card is a critical component of the new readout architecture for the CMS ECAL. The module hosts the Front End New Intermediate data eXtractor (FENIX) ASIC that contains the DSP for trigger primitive generation and RAM for the digital pipeline and the primary event buffers. The Front end Automatic Tester (FAT) allows fast fault detection to ensure that the manufacturing proces...
متن کاملModular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls
VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
