TiCkS

The TiCkS board is an FMC carrier based on the SPEC. This board is usable with most of the FMC cards designed within the OHR project (e.g. ADC cards, Fine Delay). The TiCkS board provides ns time stamping for CTA camera triggers to allow search of coincidences between telescope’s events. It implements a UDP stack to send bunches of timestamps and receive configuration commands. The boards are powered by a 24 Volts DC power supply.

Boards with a very similar architecture are available for the VME bus (SVEC - Simple VME FMC Carrier (SVEC)) and for the PXI Express bus (SPEXI - Simple PXI express FMC Carrier Board (SPEXI)).
Other FMC projects and the FMC standard are described in FMC Projects.

Here is the TiCkS with its “CTA Interface”, consisting of 2x RJ45 connectors (at the left). For the OHW version, this will be replaced by an FMC connector for greater flexibility.
