Abstract

A new High-Speed PCI Express (PCIe) readout Card (HSPC) has been designed to transmit and aggregate data from the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) that will be assembled on High energy FRagment Separator (HFRS) beamlines at the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) currently being built in Huizhou City, China. The HSPC features a high-performance controller utilizing the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale Series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), two Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) connectors, and a PCIe Gen3×8 interface with theoretical bandwidth of 64 Gbps. Experimental testing shows that there are no errors on the 8-fiber optics when operating at 9.6 Gbps per link, and the bit error rate (BER) is less than 1.0 × 10-15. In addition, the total read bandwidth of PCIe Gen3×8 reaches 7085.4 MB/s. Consequently, the HSPC can meet HFRS requirements.

HSPC - 用于 HFRS-TPC 的高速 PCIe 读卡器

新型高速PCI Express（PCIe）读出卡（HSPC）设计用于传输和汇总来自时间投影室（TPC）的数据，时间投影室将装配在目前正在中国惠州市建设的高强度重离子加速器设施（HIAF）的高能碎片分离器（HFRS）光束线上。HSPC 配备了高性能控制器（采用赛灵思 Kintex Ultrascale 系列现场可编程门阵列 (FPGA)）、两个四通道小型可插拔连接器 (QSFP+)，以及理论带宽为 64 Gbps 的 PCIe Gen3×8 接口。实验测试表明，当每个链路以 9.6 Gbps 的速度运行时，8 芯光纤上没有任何错误，误码率（BER）小于 1.0 × 10-15。此外，PCIe Gen3×8 的总读取带宽达到 7085.4 MB/s。因此，HSPC 可以满足 HFRS 的要求。
