Q: TDC Word Bit Layout

0 TDC TS of Hit

TS of Hit

TDC

The rearrangement is very useful. TDC word represents unique time. TDC ordering represents hit ordering. Caution: TS and TDC are in different units: convert unit while calculating DT.

Q: Error Checking
Its important to consider it from beginning. A check sum word is attached at the end of a centenary. (Place holder only for now).

Q: Centenary, Millenary
A centenary is 256 CLK cycles. (Or 2.5 to 6.4 ms). A millenary could be 256 centenaries. (Or 0.65 to 1.6 ms. Use 256 for now, should be determined after having knowledge about switch).

Remarks on Millenary
Both header identification and data block size mechanisms are allowed. Header identification is preferred. Word count and check sum are used as redundant check.

Q: Hitlet?
Suggested module for now: direct pipeline dump. When over-threshold data exist, dump:

Hitlet Hdr

Header. 2 empty slots. Over-threshold slots. 2 empty tail slots.

Any other data fragments can be chopped from the pipeline dump in software.

Q: (QIE+TDC) or (QIE)+(TDC)?
PMT

QIE

TDC

There is a possibility TDC and QIE data exist in same chip. Hardware effort is the same for (QIE+TDC) or (QIE)+(TDC). (QIE+TDC) might have advantage in software stage. Suggestion: leave both schemes possible, defer the choice until the trigger study result comes out.

Further Saving
Use centenary ID only (eliminate roll-over marker). Eliminate empty centenaries. Suggestion: dont worry about it for now but keep it in mind.
