Abstract The ALICE detector is a dedicated heavy-ion detector to be commissioned as a part of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2007 at CERN. The Photon Spectrometer (PHOS) provides a trigger at L0 and L1 (e.g. high-pt photons) by the use of several Trigger Router Units (TRUs) and a Trigger-OR board. The ALICE triggers are handled by the Central Trigger Processor (CTP), and distributed to all sub-detectors, amongst other the Time Projection Chamber (TPC). The PHOS trigger electronics and the readout electronics of the TPC (and PHOS) are situated close to the collision-point, and errors due to radiation effects are to be expected. This article will focus on how the radiation environment affects the trigger reception of the TPC/PHOS readout electronics and the trigger system in general.
