Abstract
The Data Concentrator Card (DCC) is a module that in the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Readout System is responsible for data collection in a readout crate, verification of data integrity and data transfer to the central DAQ. The DCC should sustain an average data flow of 200 Mbyte/s. In the first part of the paper we summarize the physics requirements for the ECAL readout and give results on the expected data volumes obtained with the CMS detector simulation (ORCA software package). In the second part we present the module's design architecture and the adopted engineering solutions. Finally we give results on the expected performance derived from a detailed simulation of the module's hardware.
