TRB 3具有四个基于FPGA的TDC，两个通道之间的RMS时间精度< 20 ps，总共256 + 4 + 4通道。一个中央FPGA提供灵活的触发功能和GbE连接，包括强大的慢速控制。根据COME& KISS原则，我们介绍了该平台的最新用户应用：在Julich和Mainz的CERN（CBM）成功测试了基于FPGA的扩展板（PaDiWa）、具有高动态范围的电荷宽度FEE板、n-XYTER ASIC的读出以及ROOT中用于数据解包和TDC校准的软件。最后，我们展望了未来的发展。
The TRB3 features four FPGA-based TDCs with < 20 ps RMS time precision between two channels and 256 + 4 + 4 channels in total. One central FPGA provides flexible trigger functionality and GbE connectivity including powerful slow control. We present recent users' applications of this platform following the COME& KISS principle: successful test beamtimes at CERN (CBM), in Julich and Mainz with an FPGA-based discriminator board (PaDiWa), a charge-to-width FEE board with high dynamic range, read-out of the n-XYTER ASIC and software for data unpacking and TDC calibration in ROOT. We conclude with an outlook on future developments.
