The AMC527 supports a single FMC per VITA-57, making it suitable for use with industry standard modules including VadaTech’s broad range of ADC, DAC, RF and network interface FMCs. The on-board Virtex-7 690T is suitable for local signal processing and data reduction prior to transfer out via the backplane using PCIe, SRIO or Ethernet.

The AMC ports 12-15 and 17-20 are optionally routed to the FPGA from the AMC connector, providing the user with flexibility to support custom high-bandwidth interconnects between compatible FPGA modules (depending on backplane capabilities). The FPGA is supported by FLASH memory for boot image storage, four banks of QDR-II+ for fast data buffering and a further bank of DDR3 for local data.  

TCLKA-D are routed to the FPGA via an on-board clock and jitter cleaner while FCLK is routed directly. The module includes a very flexible clocking sub-system, supporting internal or external (backplane or FMC connector) clock source with internal PLL/jitter cleaner.  The AMC527 is available in both air-cooled (MTCA.0 and MTCA.1) and rugged conduction-cooled (MTCA.2 or MTCA.3) versions.
