• TTC transmitter encoders are driven by a TTC VMEbus interface module (TTCvi) which allows a programmable selection of trigger source and synchronous signal timing relative to the LHC orbit.
  
  
• A TTCvx module multiplex and encode the communication channels generated by the TTCvi and transmit the resulting modulated signal to the destination TTCrx chip (placed on the TTCpr module) via fiber optic cables.
  
  
• A TTC PMC receiver (TTCpr) module has been developed as a PCI Mezzanine card (PMC) specifically for the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter DAQ. More info regarding the TTCpr module can be found here.
