The Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT) is presently being built as part of CDF upgrades. It is the online tracker which will reconstruct 2D tracks using information from the Silicon Vertex Detector (SVXII) and the Central Outer Chamber (COT). The precision measurement of the track impact parameter will allow to select high statistics b samples at trigger level and attack the study of CP violation in the b sector (i.e. in the B⁰_d {yields} {pi}⁺{pi}^- decay) and of B⁰_s mixing. We discuss the overall architecture, algorithms and hardware implementation of the system.
