Feedback Systems Update Alessandro Drago Super B General
Feedback Systems Update Alessandro Drago Super. B General Meeting Perugia 16 -19 June 2009
Why a new design • The fast advances of the electronics components make obsolete the present feedback systems • Low emittance beams ask for low impact feedback systems How • Previous software/hardware legacy • Only one digital processing unit design for both longitudinal & transverse • Low noise front end receiver • 2 nsec longitudinal & transverse kickers • Reuse of old systems when possible • In particular, reuse of the power amplifiers 2 (~50 k$ for each 250 W unit)
Gproto / i. Gp evolution • After a unique first phase collaboration design, four slightly different hardware layouts have been designed [KEK, SLAC, DIMTEL + old Gproto] • Dmitry Teylman (DIMTEL Inc. ) is going to start an i. Gp new release with 12 bits ADC: he claims that it will be ready for the begin of next year • The new i. GP will have the same price list [100 k$ + tax - %discount] • Interesting connected option: low noise front end [ 30 k$ + tax - %discount] • DIMTEL does NOT sell the FPGA source code! 3
Focusing on the digital processing unit: to do list for in-house R&D starting from Gproto / i. GP experience 1) Analog to digital conversion @ 12 bits 2) Digital to analog conversion @ 16 bits 3) DSP in FPGA to implement FIR filters: gateware and firmware 4) Software: Operator Interface with connections to the systems 5) Final PCB including ADC, DAC, FPGA and interfaces 4

Xilinx FPGA: Virtex-II Virtex-5 Virtex-6 12
Virtex-5 Evaluation Boards [up to now no Virtex-6 boards] • Virtex-5 LXT/SXT FF 1738 Prototyping – AFX-FF 1738 -500 PLATFORM – Platform with Xilinx FPGA $3100 • Virtex-5 LXT/SXT FF 665 Prototyping – AFX-FF 665 -500 PLATFORM – Platform with Xilinx FPGA $2000 • Xtreme. DSP Development Platform — Virtex-5 FPGA ML 506 Edition with XC 5 V-SX 50 T-FFG 1136 (288 DSP inside) $1195 13

Another Virtex-4 solution • Agilent U 1083 A 003 • Acqiris RVM 4400 High-Speed 6 U • VME/VXS ADC/DAC Module • 10 -bit ADC, 14 -bit DAC, 1. 2 GS/s • Price ~24 k euro 19
Conclusion • A new version of i. GP @ 12/16 bits should be ready at the begin of next year by DIMTEL, Inc. [but no FPGA source code] • The in-house upgrade of feedback digital processing unit is underway • Different design solutions are available, but it is necessary to know the amount of bunch-by-bunch feedback budget, when it will start and who will pay (Super. B TDR, NTA, CSNV, others. . . ) 20
