TAC (Thrust Asymmetry Compensation) and TCMA (Thrust Control Malfunction Accommodation) are completely different systems.
TAC is a flight control based system that moves the rudder to compensate for an uncommanded thrust asymmetry - such as an engine failure.
TCMA is resident in the FADEC and shuts down an engine that is at uncommanded high thrust and is not reacting to throttle movement.
