The Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP) designed by TTTech is an advanced communication protocol meant to enhance the reliability of data transmission in critical systems. Developed in compliance with the SAE AS6003 standard, this protocol is ideally suited for environments requiring synchronized operations, such as aeronautics and high-stakes energy sectors.
TTP allows for precise scheduling of communication tasks, creating a deterministic communication environment where the timing of data exchanges is predictable and stable. This predictability is crucial in eliminating delays and minimizing data loss in safety-critical applications. The protocol lays the groundwork for robust telecom infrastructures in airplanes and offers a high level of system redundancy and fault tolerance.
TTTech’s TTP IP core is integral to their TTP-Controller ASICs and is designed to comply with stringent integrity and safety requirements, including those outlined in RTCA DO-254 / EUROCAE ED-80. The versatility of TTP allows it to be implemented across varying FPGA platforms, broadening its applicability to a wide range of safety-critical industrial systems.
