Abstract
The at LHCb experiment CERN has proposed an upgrade towards a full 40 MHz readout system in order to run between five and ten times its initial design luminosity. The various sub-systems in the readout architecture will need to be upgraded in order to cope with higher sub-detector occupancies, higher rate and higher readout load. In this paper, we describe the new architecture, the new functionalities and the first hardware implementation of the new LHCb Readout Control system (S-TFC) for the upgraded LHCb experiment, together with first results on the validation of the system.
