Description
SLAC’s LCLS-II is a next generation X-ray FEL that will use a CW 4 GeV superconducting linac with nominal bunch spacing of 1us will deliver both soft and hard x-ray FEL to users. In order to achieve the required performance, the SLAC Technical Innovation Directorate has developed a common hardware and firmware platform for beam instrumentation based on the ATCA crate format. We have designed; stripline BPM, cavity BPM, timing, bunch length, bunch charge and machine protection subsystem based on this platform. The BPM system will have a dynamic range between 1 pC to 300 pC. We will discuss the design of the beam diagnostic electronics, overall architecture and performance on LCLS-I and other projects where we are using ATCA platform such as cryogenic sensor project.
