The TTC system controls timing signals critical for E-W detectors with minimal jitter. It includes clock monitoring, radiation-hard chips, optical signal transmission, and precise jitter values. Key components are TTCrx, QPLL, TRR receiver, and radiation-resistant fibers. The system ensures synchronization for accurate data collection in high radiation environments.

TTC system for FP420 reference timing? TTC = Timing Trigger Control The reference time, common signal to E and W detectors is as important as the detectors themselves. Want < ~ 5 ps E-W jitter Sophie Baron (PH-ESS) & Mike Albrow (Fermilab)

Conclusions There is a Reference time signal solution with East-West rms <~ 5 ps. Proposal will be written for TDR by Sophie Baron in consultation with MGA ( + anyone interested). We should ask for this to be provided by CERN (will FP420 have to pay something? If so, modest.)
TTCrx: 50ps rms The TTCrx is now fabricated in the radiation-hard DMILL technology, which completely eliminates the possibility of a single-event latch-up, and should show a high immunity to single-event upset (SEU). Tested up to : 8 Mrad (X-Rays) and – 5 x1013 n/cm2 (Neutrons) QPLL: 10-15ps rms Tested up to 10Mrad (Co-60 γ) + 3 1015 n/cm2 TRR receiver: Optical receiver from Truelight (Taiwan) selected for most of the TTC designs Tested with the TTCrx at the same doses. OK if the optical power level stays above -20dBm (0.1mW) Optical Fibers: sensitive to radiation (attenuation increases with the dose) Special fibres validated for ATLAS and CMS at high radiation levels (1014-1015 n cm-2 and total dose of 100 to 300 kGy) Radiation hardness of multi-mode optical fibres for the ATLAS detector readout (June 1999,DG Charlton et all) Radiation hard components Phased locked loop: voltage controlled Quartz crystal oscillator (VCXO)
