AMC FMC CARRIER – AFC V4
The AFC V4 is a versatile AMC FMC board, partially based on the SPEC design (power, White Rabbit clocks), designed to support four-channel, 16-bit FMC ADC boards, used for example in Sirius BPM electronics. The module features an extremely flexible synchronization system that allows connection to any clock source — including telecom, FMC, or FPGA — while ensuring full White Rabbit compatibility. It is equipped with a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA and 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM, providing high computational performance and broad communication capabilities.
