Positive feedback from reviewers: ‘NO SHOWSTOPPERS’-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Specific points on:
• Obsolescence
• Buffering on TELL40
• TELL40 firmware organisation
• Using Cu-links Tell40 <-> DAQ
• Tight schedule of ASICs-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Updated specifications note: LHCb-PUB-2011-011
Review summary 2
‘old’ systems under review
buffering being implemented
firmware coordination startedworkshop
in April

Review of architecture implementation proposed by each sub-detector
• check feasibility
• check all architecture features included
• ideas from external reviewers
• prepare solid ideas for TDR

Proposal to transmit detector data directly to surface (TELL40s)
Technically feasible?Tested 400m single fibre with VL
+ Tell40-AMC: OKHigh quality fibre: expensive…….Try lower grade + 12-way ribbon
Financially feasible?Discuss with companies:• Procurement• Installation• Testing
Optical fibres

ConclusionElectronics architecture blessed by reviewersClear guidelines for sub-detector implementation
Already huge progress by sub-projects
2013 is a crucial year:
Manpower must increase
Detector requirements must be clear to allow good electronics design
- critical items are ASIC designs
