Front End Controller Board (FEC) (RFT)

The Front End Controller (FEC) Board controls other boards in the Front End Crate. The control is done 
through a synchronous and bidirectional Bus called the Front End Bus. The following tasks are 
performed by the FEC Board:

•

System master clock generation (including clock to IP).

•

Transmitter control.

•

ATCG control.

•

Receive focusing control.

•

Analog test signal control.

•

Probe sensing.

•

Transmit voltage control.

•

Control of Front Board switching.

•

Temperature sensing for the TEE probes.

•

Memory refresh control for the BF Board.

•

Provide 40 MHz clock to IP.
