This presentation will compare the past and present situation of MTCA. It will highlight some trends and will show some real applications.

30. Precision analog measurements in high speed MTCA.4 crates

Dr Frank Ludwig (DESY)

11/12/2012, 14:20

One of the major benefit of an MTCA.4 system is to combine high-speed digital data processing AMC boards with high precision analog signal conditioning RTM boards. In this presentation we show high prescion measurements using different grounding configurations, particularly for AMC and RTM Z3 ac-coupled differential signal transmission for the detection and regulation of high frequency...

28. Scalability of xTCA Systems

Mr Friedrich Fix (Elma electronic GmbH)

11/12/2012, 14:40

Use a high performance small System in MTCA.4 Form factor and build a network with one internal or external system manager. Start from 6 Slot MTCA.4 to 12 Slot MTCA.4 System and increase to ATCA 2 Slots up to 14 Slots. See special applications in the ATLAS, ALICE and NEXT Project at CERN. They planning to use a 2 Slot ATCA System with 10240 Detector readout channels. A second Example is the...

40. Connectivity in MTCA Crates

Dr Tomasz Jezynski (DESY)

11/12/2012, 15:00

This paper provides an overview of available backplanes in different MTCA crates, focusing on possible connectivity and data transport layer. Differences, advantages and disadvantages of different backplanes for given applications are presented and discussed. This paper also offers a basic information about backplane topology available from different vendors.

45. PICMG xTCA for Physics Collaboration

Mr Raymond Larsen (SLAC)

11/12/2012, 15:20

Development of new standards is a constant evolution necessary to keep up with beneficial technology developments. Standards strive to benefit all users (customers) and providers (vendors) by eliminating needless duplication of private platforms which are costly to all parties and prevent interchangeability. Standards also need champions on both sides who will continue to collaborate on...
