Unifying all base-functionality on a universal main board, connectivity to the experimental setup is established using up to five application-specific add-on boards.
The platform is used by a number of detectors, amongst them prototypes for CBM-MVD and CBM-RICH.
-The board features five inexpensive Lattice ECP3 FPGAs optimised for a high IO count rather than computational power, which is typically not required for early DAQ stages:
-one central chip primarily executes management- and network-related tasks while the remaining FPGAs together with their respective add-ons form four independent sub-systems.
-Applications include FPGA-based TDC- (up to 264 channels/board with a precision of 7.2~ps RMS [1]) and ADC-measurements as well as the read-out of high-speed digital signals, e.g. for the MAPS in case of CBM-MVD.

The TRB3 can be operated in a stand-alone fashion only requiring an external power supply and a PC capable of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE);
however, large systems are inherently supported by its internal network protocol, TrbNet, which was originally developed for HADES.
