Abstract :
Parallel bus has been used to accommodate data handling modules for data acquisition systems. In order to develop modular system, we introduce serial data link for data link from front-end chips to back-end computers. The advanced TCA is a new standard for serial back-plane. It provides reliable power supply system and cooling system. The advanced TCA back-plane provides dual star point-to-point serial data links or full mesh serial data links. Dual star connection is useful for data acquisition system. Star connection from a readout controller module provides data readout. Another star connection from a trigger controller module provides trigger signals. The SpaceWire protocol, which is a standard for space applications based on IEEE1355 DS-link protocol, is implemented for a star connection for data readout. The 500MHz flash ADC system is being developed on the advanced TCA system
