Abstract :
This article presents the status of a serial protocol developed in the framework of ATLAS, a high energy physics experiment that will be installed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) based at CERN. This link will be used to control the front-end electronics of the liquid argon calorimeters, located in a radiated environment. After a technical description of the communication system architecture, we detail the features and performances of the designed components. This protocol could be applied in other contexts (nuclear physics, industry) where a fast, reliable and rad-hard serial communication is needed
