Description
The FMC155 is an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) per VITA 57.1 standard, offering a small footprint and allowing for general-purpose I/O expansion.
The FMC155 provides sixteen M-LVDS input/outputs, eight RS-485/422 RX plus eight RS-485/422 TX, and sixteen single-ended +3.3V input/outputs.
The M-LVDS signals go through a Cross Bar Switch (CBS), which allows input/output routing within each group of eight M-LVDS signals. Each CBS port can be individually software-configured for routing, termination, and direction.
Each of the single-ended Ports can be configured as input or output. The RS-485/422 configuration can be selected as full-duplex RS-422 (independent RX/TX pairs with RX termination) or half-duplex RS-485 (RX/TX pairs tied together, no termination onboard) based on the ordering option. The FMC155 can provide power of up to 12W to an external module.
