IFR TDC Board (ITB)
The IRF TDC Board (ITB) will be used to identify
the bunch crossing of the event using the good time resolution of Resistive
Plate Chamber (RPC). The input signal will be the Fast-OR of the
Front-End
Card (FEC) which is used to read out 16 strips. The ITB will
follow the Babar protocol, and will be installed in the IFR FE crate togheter
with the IFR
FIFO Board (IFB) and the IFR Calibration Board (ICB).
The output data will be collected through the Protocol
Distribution Board (PDB) and sent to the Readout Module (ROM)
via the G-link. The preliminary design of the board is based on the 32-channel
TDC chip designed at CERN for LHC experiments.
