Transputer Fiber Link

TIF (CS-P-1864 - revision A)

Transputer Fiber Link Interface

Features

• Double Euro size module
• Fiber optic transputer link (Link in and Link out)
• LED monitor of Giga Bus data lines
• Control unit for status bus

General Description

TIF does primarily the conversion of the transputer link to a fiberoptic link between NC side and DFE and the distribution of transputer links in DFE. The TIF module is installed on the detector front end (DFE). It will convert the incoming fiber optic link to a Transputer link, route it to the transputer and de-multiplex the link signal into two other links. Over backplane the first is connected to the Sequencer link chain and the second to the clock driver CLDC link chain. If more than one sequencer is installed, the link is routed down through each sequencer. The same applies for the clock driver.

TIF Parallel port (CS-P-1907 - revision B)

Fiber Link Interface over parallel port

Features

• Double Euro size module
• Fiber optic transputer link (Link in and Link out)
• LED monitor of Giga Bus data lines

TIF Serial port (CS-P-1907 - revision C)

Fiber Link Interface over serial port

Features
