The VME FMC Carrier consist of two FPGA: System FPGA, SFPGA, and Application FPGA -AFPGA. Each FPGA is connected to several devices as follows:
System FPGA¶
- Power supply system
- Clock generation system
- VME connections
- DDR3 memory
- LEMO connector
- SFP connector
- Gigabit interconnection lanes with Application FPGA
Application FPGA¶
- FMC connector
- VME P0/p2 connections
- SRAM memory
- Gigabit interconnection lanes with Application FPGA
