Recent developments for the Upgrade of the LHCb readout system
Résumé
The LHCb collaboration has chosen to evaluate the ATCA architecture as form-factor for the LHCb readout system. A same board can satisfy all the requirements for data transmission, timing and fast control as well as slow control. First developments rely on a generic ATCA carrier board equipped with four dense AMC mezzanine able to interface a total of 144 bidirectional optical links at up to 10 Gbits/s. Early results and measurements will be presented.
