Description
The LRFSC card takes an analog signal from a pickup in a Radio Frequency accelerating cavity, compares that signal with a set point and drives an amplifier to correct the field in the cavity. It implements a digital feedback system in an FPGA which is at the heart of a VME32 board. This project is not meant to be the basis of any new developments. The FPGA used (Xilinx Virtex 2) is not commercially available any more. Links to useful information:
