Controlling the FMC204
5.1 Architecture
The FMC must be controlled from the carrier hardware through a single SPI communication
bus. The SPI communication bus is connected to a CPLD which has the following tasks:
Distribute SPI access from the carrier hardware along the local devices:
-
2x DAC5682Z (D/A converters)
-
1x AD9517 (Clock Tree)
Select clock source based on a SPI command from the carrier hardware
(CLKSRC_SEL).
Select sync source based on a SPI command from the carrier hardware
(SYNCSRC_SEL).
Generate SPI reset for AD9517 (CLK_N_RESET) and both DAC5682Z
(DAC_N_RESET)
Control the direction of the front I/O transceivers (FRONT_IO_DIR).
Control the FAN header power (FAN_N_EN).
Collect local status signals and store them in a register which can be accessed from
the carrier hardware.
Drive a LED according to the level of the status signals.
