Some Example Applications using this same basic
hardware
  • 1) Universal Beam Position Monitors (BPMs)
  • Handles full variety of FNAL beam RF structure
  • 2) Generic instrumentation readout Scope
  • ex Flying Wire readout for arbitrary bunches
  • 3) Beam Loading Compensation
  • 4) Universal Beam Dampers / Beamline Tuner
  • 5) Entire Low-Level RF system

13
Fast, High Precision Pipelined ADCs
  • AD6645 14 Bits, 105 MHz
  • AD9430 12 Bits, 210 MHz
  • AD12500 12 Bits, 500 MHz (hybrid)
  • Several 8 bits, 1-2 GHz (scopes)
  • Private opinion it appears that ADCs are about
    to fall off of Moores Law curve the same way
    that CPUs have

  • Two-Stage Pipelined ADC
  • Internal Track Hold
  • Differential Analog Inputs

16
This ADC can sample 53 MHz signals at 4 samples
per cycle to measure both In-Phase and Quadrature
on each cycle

18
Board Layout for High-Speed ADCsis a Lot Easier
Than it Used to Be
  • LVDS signals eliminate digital noise
  • 0.25V differential swing far quieter than TTL
  • Direct glueless interface to FPGAs
  • Fast input op-amps and surface mount components
    with small parasitics
  • Front-end layout is not critical since it is
    physically small

19
Clock Distribution for ADCsis a Lot Easier Than
it Used to Be
  • Clock and Signal timing can be fixed ex post
    facto via FPGA firmware timing adjustments
  • Some A/Ds D/As have internal PLLs to reduce or
    eliminate effects of clock jitter
  • FPGAs have high-quality clock distribution which
    can be used to drive external A/D D/As
  • FPGA clock distribution can challenge Dedicated
    Clock Distribution Chips (on notL. Dolittle)

20
  • Q What ADC Clock Speed is needed?
  • A 4x RF Bunch Frequency
  • Minimum needed for bunch-by-bunch Phase and
    Amplitude measurement
  • In frequency domain, 4x RF sampling measures both
    in-phase and quadrature components.
  • For Fermilabs 53 MHz RF ? 212 MHz ADCs

21
212 MHz Sampling of RWM Pulse
Low-pass Filter Spreads signal /-5ns in time so
it will not be missed by ADC
Filter Reduces ADC Dynamic Range requirement,
since spike does not have to be digitized
22
212 MHz Sampling of Stripline Signal
Roles of Phase and Amplitude signals are
reversed from unipolar case.
23
Repetitive Waveform looks like simple sine wave,
but contains bunch-by-bunch phase and amplitude
A - B gives bunch-by-bunch in-phase signal
D - (CE)/2 gives bunch-by-bunch
out-of-phase or quadrature signal
Vector Sum sqrt(I2 Q2) is insensitive to
clock jitter
24
Bunch-By-Bunch Phase vs. Turn NumberMeasured
with MI Digital Damper
  • Damper Output comes from derivative of individual
    bunch phase errors

25
Bunch-By-Bunch Intensity
26
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous ADC Sampling
  • The choice is between
  • N53 MHz beam phase locked sampling, or
  • Asynchronous sampling at a (possibly) lower rate
  • Asynchronous sampling of a waveform will allow
    you to recover all the information, IF
  • you know that the input is a pure sine wave, or
  • you know the input is repetitive (stored beam),
    or
  • the sampling rate is much higher than fMAX
  • My belief is, undersampling is just a bad idea

27
The Perils of Undersamplinga Single-Pass Beam
If a single-pass beam does not have uniform bunch
populations, the ADC input is NOT a good sine
wave and an undersampled waveform can give an
erroneous picture of the beam signal.
The signal CAN be reconstructed with many passes
of stored beam.
28
dealing with this variety of beams would be
painful in Analog
29
Digital Filter looking at many samples can still
extract individual bunch transverse positions
30
Advantages of Digital Processing
  • Digital filters more reproducible (gtspares!)
  • Inputs and Outputs clearly defined ( stored!)
  • filters can be developed debugged offline
  • Digital filter can also operate at multiple lower
    frequencies ...simultaneously if desired.
  • Re-use Standard hardware with new FPGA code
  • or same code with different filter coefficients

31
Conclusions on ADC Clock Rate
  • A Bunch-by-Bunch processing system must sample
    the raw waveform at a minimum of 4x the Bunch
    frequency
  • You can never be
  • too rich
  • too thin
  • or have too many ADC samples

32
What is an FPGA?
  • Reconfigurable Logic Array 106 logic gates
  • Pre-built logic subassemblies Megafunctions
  • Multipliers/Accumulators
  • Multi-port RAMs
  • Gigabit serial links
  • Entire CPUs
  • Phase Locked Loops
  • Complex I/O pads
  • More transistors than a Pentium
  • Impressive Support software

33
XYLINX And ALTERA Are the Industry Leaders
34

35
What is an FPGA Good At?
  • Big Synchronous Arithmetic Pipelines
  • 400 MHz multiply/accumulators, filters..
  • High-Speed Interface with Modern Parts
  • ADCs, DACs, Serial Links
  • Built-in system diagnostics
  • Digital Scope on every signal
  • Flexibility and Multiple Applications
  • Use one board design for many applications
  • Add features without hardware changes

36
SYNCHRONOUS PIPELINES
  • When people say Analog is simple, they are
    often referring to the deterministic execution
    time (propagation delay).
  • Analog circuits never fail to respond in time
    because they are off servicing an interrupt.
  • FPGA synchronous pipelines provide dedicated
    logic which responds at a deterministic time.
  • This captures a big advantage of Analog.

FPGA Programming LanguagesGraphical vs.
Text-mode
  • Graphical Schematic Entry is useful for
  • diagramming data flow
  • giving talks
  • Text Mode features
  • Text is faster to enter and more concise
  • Can diff two files to see whats changed
  • Code management systems can handle text well
  • I PERSONALLY RECOMMEND TEXT MODE

39
FPGA Programming LanguagesProprietary vs.
Industry Standard
  • Proprietary languages often lock you into a
    single vendor.
  • I use one (Altera AHDL) anyway.
  • The industry standard VHDL language
  • It is extremely verbose repetitive
  • Translating AHDL into VHDL increases the text
    length by a factor of 2.
  • LIKE TRANSLATING A DOCUMENT TO FRENCH

40
Some Development Models
  • How do you Download Talk to this Board that
    youve just built?
  • FPGA Programming cable
  • Firmware Serial Port Model
  • Crate Backplane Bus Access
  • On-Board CPU w/Ethernet
  • Compiled-in On-chip CPU w/ Ethernet

41
CPU Access to FPGA Registers
  • Usually want ADDRESS/DATA R/W model for CPU
    access to Control Registers
  • These address and data busses are synthesized
    in firmware
  • Example (AHDL) for 32-bit read/write register
  • (Bus,Outputs) BUS_REG( ) WITH(
  • ADDRESS H08402020,
  • WIDTH 32 )

42
Development Model 1 FPGA Programming Cable
  • The programming cable needed to program the FPGA
    (usually through the PC printer port) can also be
    used for limited communication
  • Not clear how useful this is for real-time
    response since it works through serial port
    driver
  • Altera provides compiled-in logic analyzer
    which provides output that can be compared with
    simulation.

43
Development Model 2 Crate Backplane Bus Access
  • Crate Backplane Bus connections to FPGA can
    provide CPU access to registers in internal
    address space of FPGA
  • Internal Address Space is defined in firmware
  • Requires many bits of bus buffers, etc.
  • Be Careful of Backplane Noise (TTL)

44
Development Model 3 Serial Port to PC
  • A firmware-defined Serial Port can be used for
    2-wire communication with the .COM port of a PC
  • Terminal emulator can provide simple read/write
    access the internal address space of the FPGA
  • Can also connect to spread sheets, etc via Visual
    Basic access to .COM port

45
Development Model 4 On-Board CPU w/Ethernet
  • Postage Stamp Ethernet CPU or homebuilt DSP can
    provide Ethernet and Web access to FPGA registers
  • Firewire is an alternative
  • Remote update of firmware possible
  • NIM-like modules without need of crate backplane

46
Development Model 5 Compiled-in On-chip CPU
with Firmware-defined Ethernet
  1. High-end end FPGAs have built-in or
    firmware-defined CPUs fast enough to support IP
    stack, Web Servers, etc.
  2. These are available on Demo Boards
  3. C-language programming of these is integrated
    into FPGA development environment (no new
    software!).

47
Adding a new ACNET Device
1) Add register(s) to FPGA Firmware
2) Start Recompile (takes 6 minutes) 3)
Meanwhile, use DABBEL/D80 to define properties of
new ACNET device 4) Download Firmware Reboot
Crate (2 min.)
  • ? Takes about 10 minutes from concept to
    Fast-Time Plot

Application 1 Universal BPM(Beam Position
Monitor)
  • Measures position of each bunch on each pass
    around the ring with full-bandwidth FIR filter
  • (R-L)/(RL) for each bunch measurement.
  • Multi-bunch averages available for lower noise
  • per batch, per turn, many turns, different
    bandwidths
  • Multiple users can share hardware w/o conflicts
  • ADC is always active, FPGA stores data many ways
  • Same Hardware OK for Booster, MI, RR, TeV,
    beamlines.

Multi-User Support
  • FPGA CODE SUPPORTS
  • 31 different users on different machine cycles
  • Different averaging algorithms, simultaneously
    active
  • Each user can sit and observe a different single
    bunch
  • Different bunch frequencies on each cycle
  • No User Interferences since Separate Dedicated
    Logic is used for each purpose

57
Application 2 Generic Instrumentation Readout
Scope
  • What we want in a Generic Scope
  • 1) Ability to trigger on TCLK events, Beam Synch
    Events, analog threshold crossings of different
    channels, etc.
  • 2) Multiple Users Sharing without conflicts
  • - separate copies of trigger logic
  • - separate buffers to store captured signals
  • - separate filter algorithms run simultaneously

Example Application of Generic Scope Flying
Wire PMT Readout
  • Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) pulses presented to
    Analog filter to limit BW
  • Summing circuits in FPGA give total PMT pulse
    height in narrow and wide gates
  • Individual gates report signals for 36x36 or more
    bunches, average over many turns, etc.
  • FPGA can be used to control trigger the fly
  • Raw PMT pulses can be simultaneously looked at
    via multi-user hooks

60
Application 3 Gods Own Beam Loading
Compensation
  • 1) Digital Pipeline to reproduce IQ signals from
    RW bunch monitor with N-turn delay. (N1...1/?S)
  • 2) Digital filters for transients and synchrotron
    osc.
  • Inputs Resistive-wall monitor RF fanback.
  • Digitization bunch-by-bunch I Q signals
  • Outputs IQ to damper cavity, or LLRF
  • frequency swing issues for LLRF drive
  • Antiproton vs. Proton timing

61
Application 4 Universal Damper
  • A single FPGA has enough capability to do damping
    calculations for X,Y, longitudinal.
  • Digital Filter which operates on I Q signals
    from individual 53 MHz bunches can also be
    reprogrammed to operate at lower frequencies.
  • Frequency swing during acceleration introduces
    some timing complications, which can be fixed by
    components (FIFOs, Dual-Port RAMS) inside of FPGA.

62
Universal-Damper Application Signal
Processing Steps
  • 1) Bandwidth-Limit input signal to 53 MHz
  • 2) 12 Bit Digitization at 212 MHz
  • 3) FIR filter to get single-bunch signal
  • 4) Sum Difference of plate signals
  • 5) Multi turn difference filter (FIR) w/delay
  • 6) Pickup Mixing for correct Betatron Phase
  • 7) Bunch-by-bunch gain, dead band etc.
  • 8) Timing Corrections for Frequency Sweep
  • 9) Pre-Emphasis for Kicker Power Amp
  • 10) Power Amp for Kicker

Arbitrary Betatron Phase of Kicker can be

  • Damper kick is calculated from single BPM
    position reading on 3 successive turns.

67
HERA-P Damper uses a 3-turn Digital FIR Filter
Klute, Kohaupt et. al. EPAC 96
  • Digital Bunch by Bunch _at_ 96ns Spacing
  • Immediate digitization following peak detection

68
3 Turn Filter Coefficients
  • Damper kick is weighted sum of beam positions on
    the 3 previous turns.
  • 3 Filter Coefficients Uniquely Determined by
  • System Gain
  • Betatron Phase Desired at Kicker
  • Constraint that sum of filter coefficients 0
    (so that filter does not respond to DC
    offsets.)

69
Frequency Sweep Issues
  • Machines with frequency sweep (?Booster!) must
    adjust ADC input clock and DAC output clock
    phases as frequency sweeps.
  • This can be generated with Phase-locked loops and
    delay-locked loops present inside FPGAs.
  • This requires access to both the RF clock, and
    a cable-delayed version of the RF
    clock, as timing references.
  • One-turn digital delay using FIFOs in FPGAs.
  • Same hardware can be used for Booster thru
    Tevatron.

Damper Output Precompensation
  • 53 MHz Bunch-by-bunch kicker wants a 19ns square
    pulse with a good flat top to minimize timing
    sensitivity
  • Power Amp and Cable have non-ideal response for
    square wave (ringing and tail)
  • DAC operating at 424 MHz is used to produce
    specially sculpted pulse necessary to convince
    Amp Cable to make a nice flat pulse at kicker.

Application 5 LLRF System on a Chip
  • The single FPGA on the damper board has 12
    Phase-locked loops and enough capability
    synthesize all the signals needed for a complete
    LLRF system.
  • The Damper Board has already been used (in a
    simple way) to drive the FNAL Debuncher Ring LLRF
    system.
  • A more ambitious (but achievable) goal is to
    replace the entire Booster LLRF with a Damper.
