Abstract

Abstract: Nowadays, the trigger and data acquisition (TDAQ) system of many particle physics experiments always require larger data throughput, larger number of high speed I/Os and much more sophisticated trigger algorithms with longer latency. The micro-TCA and the ATCA standards, with their FPGA-based boards, respond to those requirements. Besides, maintenance of the electronics may become an issue and it is therefore of interest to limit the use of many different custom-made electronics boards. So it is significant to develop a high bandwidth and versatile board. In this contribution we present a new AMC board based on AMC.0, named as Trigger Receiver Board (TRB).
