FMC DIO 32CH LVDS A

The FMC DIO 32CH LVDS A is a universal 32-channel bi-directional LVDS card.

The FMC DIO 32CH LVDS A uses a VHDCI connector compatible with standard SCSI cables. There is also a micro-HDMI connector on the front panel with I2C and some LVDS signals so that standard HDMI cables can be used. Each channel may be optionally AC-coupled (0R resistors need to be removed) and is ESD-protected. All channels are terminated to 1.65V by two 50 Ohm resistors. The direction of each channel is programmed via a serial, SPI-like interface. The VHDCI connector has also 3.3V supply and buffered I2C interface.

This module can be used together with one of our Carriers for building control and measurement systems in MTCA standard. In particular, it is tailored to the requirements of fast hard real time systems with multi-channel processing and White Rabbit ultra-precise time synchronization. Use cases include control systems for large research infrastructures.
