Tests of first prototypes of the EoS Card for the ATLAS ITk Strip Tracker — •Anastasiya Melnik and Marcel Stanitzki — DESY, Hamburg, Germany

Results of the testing of the first prototypes of the End-Of-Substructure Card (EoS) for the ATLAS ITk Strip Tracker will be presented, including high-speed link tests and reliability studies. The EoS Card is the interface between the building block of the ITk Strip Tracker (staves and petals) and the off-detector electronics. All the control and command signals, the data and the power will be passing through this card. The card concept is built around using the lpGBT (low power GigaBit Transceivers) chip set and the VTRx (Versatile Transceiver) optical link, both common developments for the LHC Upgrades. The first prototype of EoS board based on the current GBTx chip-set has been produced. First results of EoS testing will be presented, they includes Bit Error Rate Tests, there are included flatness test of the PCB and thermal cycling test.
