Timing aspects such as precision, synchronization and distribution are more and more getting critical, not only for applications in science but also for those in industry. Beside application specific precision timing modules the global approach through IEEE1588 is getting more and or attention.
The presentation will highlight the clocking options for a new (NG-MTCA ready) MCH...
At DESY, developments towards the fourth-generation synchrotron light source PETRA IV are ongoing in its technical design phase. This machine upgrade foresees a complete renewal of the accelerator and its electronics for controls, including the timing and synchronization system. As a platform choice for the hardware, MicroTCA.4 has been chosen to become the new baseline.
This report will...
The Lodz University of Technology, Department of Microelectronics and Computer Science is involved in the development of MicroTCA.4, MicroTCA.4.1 and the future standards from 2007 onwards. Since that time, we have developed various MicroTCA.4 components including Intelligent Platform Management, Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs), Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) for data acquisition and...
W7-X restarted operation in September of 2022 after a 4-year shutdown. Extensive work was done during that time, including the installation of an actively cooled divertor. This necessitated a sophisticated protection system, to ensure that the internal components of the machine do not overheat. The key DAQ components are high-fidelity infrared and optical cameras. This system alone consist of...
For the past two years, the FPGA team at the MSK group of DESY has been working on modernizing and preparing many existing tools and IPs for open-source access. This talk focuses on giving the latest status on the project while giving concrete use case examples.
In todays advanced and digital world traditional analog signal acquisition and processing are gradually shifting to digital domain to meet the needs of the hour. In the field of energy dispersive x-rays detectors traditional analog signal processing involves a pre-amplifier to amplify the signal, a shaping amplifier to detect the energy of the incident photon, and a multichannel analyzer (MCA)...
