Optical modules TP4 and TP3
• Physical interface points TP1, TP2, TP3 & TP4 are identified for future reference and further defined below. The above block diagram shows relevant elements and interfaces for a link between two PMAs. This document describes the evaluation criteria and test procedures for optical data links that are developed to read out the detector front-end electronics in ATLAS and CMS for the LHC upgrade, the Super LHC or SLHC. These two SerDes's need to communicate with each other and the TP1 and TP4 demarcation points are defined to enable this.
