Description
We report on two separate research projects related to HK
electronics. First, we are exploring the idea of using Flash ADCs
(FADCs) for digitizing the HK PMT signals (rather than ADC/TDC
digitization). We have done simple tests at TRIUMF of the timing
resolution achievable with FADCs. We are also thinking about how to
quantify the benefits of FADCs. Second, we are investigating a
solution for redundant communication between front end boards based on
the RapidIO protocol. A prototype system is being developed based on a
Altera Cyclone 5 evaluation board by Terasic.
