There is an urgent need for high-quality and high-frequency clock generators for high-
energy physics experiments. The transmission data rate exceeds 10 Gbps for a single …

In this paper, a remote FPGA-configuration method based on JTAG extension over optical
fibers is presented. The method takes advantage of commercial components and ready-to …

We propose a line code that has fast resynchronization capability and low latency. Both the
encoder and decoder have been implemented in FPGAs. The encoder has also been …

This paper presents several component prototypes towards a low-latency, small-form-factor
optical link designed for the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter Phase-I trigger upgrade. A …

We present the design and the test results of a dual-channel vertical-cavity surface-emitting
laser (VCSEL) driver application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) LOCld65 for detector front …

This paper describes the design, fabrication and experiment results of a 4× 8-Gbps Vertical-
Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) array driver ASIC with the adjustable active-shunt …

We present a dual-channel optical transmitter (MTx+)/transceiver (MTRx+) for the front-end
readout electronics of high-energy physics experiments. MTx+ utilizes two Transmitter …

A serializer ASIC and a VCSEL driver ASIC are needed for the ATLAS liquid argon
calorimeter readout phase-I upgrade. The baseline ASICs are the serializer LOCx2 and the …
