Description

The EIC Common Platform is a modular system architecture which will serve as the basis for EIC Accelerator Controls. It consists of an SoC-based carrier board with up to two independent pluggable FPGA-based Daughtercards. Different types of Daughtercards have custom electronics catering to the specific needs of an application. Daughtercards will have FPGA logic to support a common protocol for communication with the carrier board as well as a basic set of features for programming and telemetry. RF Controls applications will use two versions of an RF Digitizer Daughtercard designed by the LLRF team as well as several of the general purpose Daughtercards designed in collaboration by the LLRF, Accelerator Controls, and Instrumentation groups. The system architectures for various LLRF applications using the Common Platform components will be presented.
