ATLAS Front-end Read-out Link Requirements

Editors : John Dowell, Mark Pearce

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to summarise ATLAS front-end read-out link architectures. Read-out links are used to transfer data from front-end electronics systems placed on detector to off-detector read-out drivers. The detector-specific information presented in this document has been obtained from the following set of `link contacts'.

The dynamic nature of the opto-electronics industry and the different time-scales for the implementation of optical read-out links between ATLAS subdetectors means that the contents of this document are liable to change. As this document is intended to be a useful reference, such changes will be added to the document as appropriate and documented in full on the following page.
