The beam test architecture monitors the GTX transceivers for lane failures and bit errors in the data streams from the 13 links sent from the Device Under Test (DUT). The DUT was exposed to 1.55 times 10{13} hbox{protons/cm}2 over a non-continuous period of 24 hours. The cross section of the GTX to any failure was calculated to be approximately 7.32 times 10 {-12}hbox{cm}{2}/hbox{lane} which translates to an error every 17 minutes for a full LAr subsystem involving 2 times 10{4} hbox{lanes}. No permanent damage was observed on any of the GTX links or other parts of the FPGA. A slight increase in current on the VCCINT power supply was observed at the end of the test.",
