The Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger consists o f a Preprocessor, a Cluster Processor (CP), and a Jet/Energy -sum Processor (JEP). The CP and JEP receive digitised triggertower data from the Preprocessor and produce trigger multiplicity and region-of-interest (RoI) information. The CP Modules (CPM) are designed to find isolated electron/photon and hadron/tau clusters in overlapping windows of trigger towers. Each pipelined CPM processes a total of 280 trigger towers of 8 -bit length at a clock speed
