The DESY DAMC-FMC1Z7IO is a cost-optimised IO controller and processing board in AMC formfactor with a front panel site for FMC modules. The module features a ZYNQ-7000 SOC that makes the AMC a networked computer node with extensive application capability. Now manufactured under license by D-TACQ Solutions, [DAMC-FMC1Z7IO][1] also supports an MTCA.4 RTM with Z3 D1.0 signaling; This makes the...

18. X86 CPU boards for MicroTCA

Herbert Erd (N-A.T GmbH)

11/12/2024, 12:00

The AMC market being smaller compared to the one for ATX boards, the limited power budget including the thermal envelope of an AMCs and finally the limited number of high-speed lanes to the backplane, contributed to the availability of embedded X86 CPU AMCs constantly staying behind new CPU generations launched by INTEL/AMD since the very beginning of MicroTCA in 2006.

As new concepts were...
