Abstract
Today’s high-energy physics colliders host experiments that rely on transmission of massive volumes of data (exceeding tens of tera bytes per second) for physics analysis. From the 1990’s to date, custom data links and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) have been developed to address the specific needs of the on-detector transmission systems, namely radiation hardness, low mass and low power consumption. This paper reviews the most significant of those developments with particular emphasis on data transmission ASICs developed for the LHC experiments.
