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. Time resolution of the module is 300 ps r.m.s., and the time range is 6.4 μsec. For handling data transfer and controlling the module, a 40 MHz digital signal processor is implemented in the module. Most of the control logic is implemented in two complex PLDs to achieve a density of 32 channels in a single-width, double height VME module
