Abstract :
A new 32-channel pipeline TDC module, which implements custom developed Time Memory Cell LSIs, has been developed for high-rate wire-chamber applications. The module achieved 370 ps time resolution and records data for a period of 3.2 μsec. To handle the large data size, a digital signal processor (DSP56002) is implemented in the module. Most of the control logics are implemented in two complex PLDs to achieve the density of 32 channels in a single-width, double-height VME module
