Abstract

The FF-LYNX project aims at the definition of a flexible protocol for the distribution of Timing, Trigger and Control (TTC) signals and for the readout in future High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments and its implementation in radiation tolerant and low power interfaces designed and developed in standard CMOS technologies (130 nm-90 nm) and available as IP cores to designers of integrated circuits. The results of the first year of activity and future plans are here presented.
