NGC Detector Array Controller Based on High Speed Serial Link Technology

Progress in FPGA technology has made it possible to build a very compact, versatile, low power detector array controller based on high speed serial link technology. All data and communication transfers run between back-end and front-end, and within the front-end over high speed serial links with transmission rates of 2.5 GBit/s. The serial-bus architecture offers high performance and system scalability for modular controller set-up.
