| Abstract |
HADES is a running hadron spectrometer installed at GSI, Germany. PANDA and CBM are new detector systems in the context of the new FAIR facility at GSI. For these detectors, a general-purpose trigger and readout board (TRBv2) with on-board DAQ functionality was developed as a replacement of the existing HADES electronics (DAQ and parts of the FEE) as well as for the PANDA Mini Drift Chamber (MDC) readout, and the CBM silicon pixel detector prototype. The first version has been sucessfully integrated into the data aquisition of the HADES detector. While the main application of the TRBv1 was to be a 128-channel Time to Digital Converter (TDC) electronics based on the HPTDC from CERN(*) (we achieve sigma=40ps resolution), the TRBv2 has been designed in a way to be detector independent and thus may serve for any high-speed data acquisition by using a flexible add-on board concept (interface connector 15Gbit/s). In addition, the TRBv2 provides an optical link (2Gbit/s), a large FPGA (Xilinx Virtex 4 LX40, an Etrax-FS-Processor (100 Mbit/s Ethernet) and a TigerSharc DSP which can be used as on-board resources for trigger and on-line analysis algorithms. |
