Description
As the use of SRF cavities continuously increases at CERN, testing facilities are also being upgraded. Due to the variety of operating frequencies, ranging from 400 MHz to 1.3 GHz, a generic cavity controller has been designed implementing Generator Driven (GD) and Self-Excited Loop (SEL) modes. A modern approach for separating gateware, embedded firmware (micro-controller unit) and low-level software, as well as Continuous Integration (CI) for automatic bitstream generation and simulation have been used in the Universal Cavity Controller (UCC). Additionally, the UCC development is planned to be applied in MicroTCA architecture in the framework of a project for axion detection using a SRF cavity.
