  • Abstract
    This work presents the first prototype of the super Read-Out Driver (sROD) demonstrator board for the Tile Calorimeter Demonstrator project. This project aims to test the new readout electronics architecture for the Phase II Upgrade of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter, replacing the front-end electronics of one complete drawer with the new electronics during the shutdown at the end of 2015, in order to evaluate its performance. The sROD demonstrator board will receive and process data from a complete module sending it to the present RODs to keep compatibility with the current system. Moreover the sROD demonstrator board will transmit Timing, Trigger and Control information (TTC) and Detector Control System (DCS) commands to the front-end electronics.
