  The ALICE Central Trigger Processor (CTP) is going to be upgraded for LHC Run
3 with completely new hardware and a new Trigger and Timing Control (TTC-PON)
system based on a Passive Optical Network (PON) system. The new trigger system
has been designed as dead time free and able to transmit trigger data at 9.6
Gbps. A new universal trigger board has been designed, where by changing the
FMC card, it can function as a CTP or as a LTU. It is based on the Xilinx
Kintex Ultrascale FPGA and upgraded TTC-PON. The new trigger system and the
prototype of the trigger board will be presented.
