The control of CERN’s beam-transfer kicker magnet high-voltage pulse generators requires often the use of digital control in FPGAs to allow tight timing control (jitter better than one ns) and fast protection of the high-voltage thyratron and semiconductor switches. A FPGA is a perfect candidate for the digital logic, it is however limited in integration possibilities with the actual and...
The APx platform encompasses multiple ATCA blade types, supporting CMS Phase 2 detector back end FPGA-based processing. Central to the APx architecture are two custom-designed ZYNQ mezzanines. The ZYNQ-IPMC is a DIMM form-factor, enhanced IPM controller for ATCA, with primary responsibility for sensor and power control. The Embedded Linux Mezzanine (ELM), has primary responsibility for...
