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.
