FMC-CAMERALINK User Manual
V2.7 - 5th February 2019
3 Installation
The FMC-CAMERALINK is designed to plug in to the FMC front panel connector on a compatible carrier. The
retaining screws should be tightened to secure the FMC.
Note:This operation should not be performed while the host PMC, XMC or PCI(e) card is powered up.
3.1 Handling instructions
Observe precautions for preventing damage to components by electrostatic discharge. Personnel handling the
board should take SSD precautions.
Avoid flexing the board.
3.2 IO Voltage Selection
The host board is required to provide FMC_VADJ in the range 1.8V to 3.3V, with 1.8V preferred. This
requirement is stored in a ROM on the FMC, as per VITA 57.1 for automatic configuration of supplies.
3.3 Camera Link Full Input Configuration
When using the FMC module in a Camera Link Full Input configuration a differential termination should be
instantiated across the unused LVDS pair LA_16_N/P. This can be achieved either by instantiating a terminating
differential input on the attached FPGA IO pins if required, or having an external 100
Ω
termination located at the
Camera on this unused differential pair.
