AMC FMC Carrier Kintex (AFCK)

Project description

The AMC FMC carrier is partially based on SPEC (supply, WR clocks) design. 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.
It is very similar design to AMC FMC board, the only difference is faster FPGA from Kintex7 family.
