There is an interesting relation between the quantum periods on a certain limit of local Calabi-Yau space and a TBA (Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz) system appeared in the studies of ABJM (Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena) theory. We propose a one-parameter generalization of the relation. Furthermore, we derive the differential operators for quantum periods and the TBA-like equation in various limits of the generalized relation.
