Abstract

The Front End Driver is a 9U 400mm VME64x card designed for reading out the CMS silicon tracker signals transmitted by the APV25 analogue pipeline ASICs. The FED receives the signals via 96 optical fibers at a total input rate of 3.4 GBytes/sec. The signals are digitized and processed by applying algorithms for pedestal and common mode noise subtraction. Algorithms that search for clusters of hits are used to further reduce the input rate. Only the cluster data along with trigger information of the event are transmitted to the CMS DAQ system using the S-LINK64 protocol at a maximum rate of 400 Mbytes/sec. All data processing algorithms on the FED are executed in large on-board FPGAs. Results on the design, performance, testing and quality control of the FED are presented and discussed.
