Modular version of SIMCON, FPGA based, DSP integrated, LLRF control system for TESLA FEL part I: SIMCON 3.0 motherboard

摘要

The paper includes a description of predicted functionalities to be implemented in a universal motherboard (MB) for the next generation of LLRF control system for TESLA. The motherboard bases on a number of quasi-autonomous embedded executive modules. The modules are implemented in a few FPGA chips featured by the MB. The paper presents a practical design of the MB. The initial (basic) solution of the MB has the Cyclone as the chip where the board management is embedded. The board features communication modules -VME and micro, single chip PC with Ethernet. The board provides power supply for the FPGA chips. The board has fast internal communication between particular modules. The described Motherboard serves for experiments with the SIMCON 3.0 system.
