Abstract

Abstract China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a complex system engineering composed of particle accelerators, a target station, and neutron spectrometers with various equipment types and distribution. The collaborative operation of the equipment requires accurate clock synchronization and trigger distribution. Currently, to meet the requirements of different system devices, clock synchronization and trigger distribution in CSNS are implemented based on different methods, resulting in complex clock and trigger networks, demanding upgrades, and a lack of unified timestamps. This paper proposes a clock synchronization and trigger distribution scheme based on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and single-mode dual-core fiber link. The decoupling of clock phase synchronization and time base synchronization improves the frequency of phase compensation. Benefiting from the phase interpolator (PI) in the FPGA transceivers, high-precision phase compensation and phase deterministic control are realized, achieving picoseconds synchronization precision and stability in the four-level network. Based on the custom lightweight link layer protocol, by optimizing the routing method of data frames and adopting priority control, the transmission of multiple data is realized, and the hardware delay of the critical data, such as interlock, is guaranteed to be less than 1.5 μs in the four-level system. The scheme provides a general precise clock synchronization and distributed trigger method for CSNS devices, simplifies the system complexity, and is conducive to the system upgrade in the second stage.
