Trigger Interface Module DAQ III Overview Data-Mover

CLEO III Data-Boards


Fastbus

The CLEO III Driftchamber, the CsI calorimeter and the muon system will be read-out using a single Fastbus module, the LeCroy 1877 TDC. Charge to Time converters are added for pulse height measurements.

VME bus

The CLEO III DAQ group designs a generic VME Data-Board to be used by the silicon vertex detector, the RICH and by the trigger system. This data-board includes a VME interface supporting D64 BLT, chained block transfers (CBLT), and Multicast cycles (MCST) as defined by VIPA . For each channel the data-board contains a 8-event buffer memory and a Data-Path chip for sparsification (zero suppression, threshold comparison) and re-tagging of channel identifiers. A Buffer-Manager chip provides overall control and buffer chaining during readout.

The RICH group is finishing its first prototype board. It will used in a beam test in spring 1997.
The PCB layout is finished.
