Description

Event building from different data sources generated by data acquisition (DAQ) electronics modules is an important task for successful physics experiments. Timestamp-based event building is one of the methods widely used conventionally and is becoming more challenging with the introduction of new timing protocols. On the other hand, not every electronics requires to be replaced by new ones in existing DAQ experimental setup systems. Therefore, synchronizing different clock frequencies, as the DAQ systems transition to more resource-demanding systems (i.e. streaming readout), is a task with high priority.
The Clock Timing Synchronizer (CTS) board is designed to provide clocks synchronized with sub-nanosecond level to DAQ systems in which conventional and new electronics coexist and are long distance apart. The White Rabbit PTP Core and the MIKUMARI firmwares have been implemented for CTS equipped with Xilinx Kria K26C MPSoC and tested. In this presentation, the CTS board will be introduced together with the implementation of the White Rabbit PTP Core and the MIKUMARI protocol, the feature of implemented firmwares, the timestamp extraction test results, and the capability of the board. This work is a collaboration between FRIB and the SPADI alliance.
