Description
The AMC Bridge (AB) is a small form factor multipurpose interface board
targeted to users of Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) that has been designed
at CERN by PH/ESE group. Its intended use is to enhance the stand-alone
capabilities of the AMCs by exploiting some features only accessible through
the AMC connector thus forming a compact bench-top system ideal for
development and test purposes. Besides delivering power to the hosted AMC,
the AB provides external access to two differential input/output clock lines
and ten high-speed serial lanes divided in three groups: two lanes featuring
respective Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) sockets, four lanes
sharing one Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) socket and four
PCIe Gen2 (Gen3 upgradable) dedicated lanes sharing one iPass socket.
