Project description

The AMC FMC carrier is partially based on SPEC (supply, WR clocks) design. It was primary designed to support quad 16 bit ADC FMC boards for BPM back-end. Among many features, the card has very flexible clock circuit that enables any clock source to be connected to any clock input, including telecom clock, FMC clocks and FPGA.
