Talk

The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) Low-level RF (LLRF) system at CERN was completely revamped in 2020. In the old system, the digital signal processing was clocked by a submultiple of the RF. The new system uses a fixed-frequency clock derived from White Rabbit. This triggered the development of an eRTM module for generating very precise clock signals to be fed to the RF backplane in MTCA.4...

17. X3Timer – Design and development of a new timing AMC hardware for PETRA IV

Talk

At DESY we are in the technical design phase for the upgrade of the PETRA III synchrotron light source towards a 4th generation low emittance machine PETRA IV.
Within this major machine upgrade also almost every electronics for the accelerator controls will be renewed. As the Platform of choice MTCA.4 shall become the new standard.
Because of the good experience with the DESY developed...

13. Upgrades to the Spallation Neutron Source Timing System Utilizing MicroTCA

Talk

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) employs a custom Timing System for synchronization of the accelerator and target systems. The variable frequency design of the SNS Accelerator requires the custom system and presents several unique design challenges. The core component of the SNS Timing System are the two sets of data links that are provided to end user systems, the Event Link(EL) and Real...
