AMC002

The AMC002 provides a convenient way to monitor and/or inject Telco clocks with a μTCA/ATCA system utilizing either AMC v1 or AMC v2 clock pin-out definitions. Two clocks may be injected while at the same time three clocks may be monitored. The clocks in use for both input and output are selectable by on-board switches. Clock signals are automatically converted between M-LVDS backplane signaling and front panel +3.3V LVCMOS signaling.

An option is provided for monitoring the fabric (i.e. PCIe) clock using HCSL signaling under AMC v2 or CLK3 using M-LVDS signaling under AMC v1. Clocks are conditionally driven to the backplane based on front panel clock transmit enable switches. Indicators on the front panel clearly show the current clocking configuration of the board.
