The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is under construction on Cerro Armazones in Chile. MicroTCA.4 will be used as a basis for the new modular ESO detector controller for all future visible and IR scientific detectors. The presentation gives an overview over current MTCA.4 related developments at ESO and how the new controller can continue the legacy of the previous ESO detector controller,...
In a cooperation between BEVATECH GmbH and the MTCA TechLab a MicroTCA.4 based Low Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) system was developed and is currently under testing at BEVATECH. This system will be deployed at the Light Ion Linac (LILAC) at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) for the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider faсility (NICA). The LLRF system controls the amplitude and phase of 6...
Teledyne SP Devices provides world-leading modular data acquisition systems. As a long-term partner of MicroTCA Technology Lab, it offers various solutions in µTCA.4 form. Apart from getting a brief overview of the existing portfolio of products, you will get a glimpse of future developments. New functions and implementations will be highlighted and discussed. For example, a new way to take...
The Lodz University of Technology, Department of Microelectronics and Computer Science is involved in the development of MicroTCA.4, MicroTCA.4.1 and the future standards from 2007 onwards. Since that time, we have developed various MicroTCA.4 components including Intelligent Platform Management, Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs), Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) for data acquisition and...
Sirius, a new 3 GeV, 250 pm.rad emittance, 4th generation light source in Brazil, is currently operating with friendly users on 4 beamlines. MicroTCA.4 has been chosen as a standard for some demanding data acquisition and feedback systems such as Beam Position Monitors electronics, Fast Orbit Feedback and the LINAC Low Level RF. In this talk, some advancements and upgrades on those systems...
