During the first long shutdown of the LHC from 2013 to 2014, the central components of the PreProcessor, the Multichip Modules, were replaced by upgraded versions that feature modern ADC and FPGA technology to ensure optimal performance in the high pile-up environment of LHC Run 2. This paper describes the features of the new Multichip Modules along with the improvements to the signal processing achieved.", optnote="WOS:000595650800004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4631), last updated on Fri, 18 Dec 2020 22:59:24 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/15/11/P11016", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.04179", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/15/11/P11016", language="English" }
