User Manual
1 Introduction
The FMC-CLINK-MINI is a VITA 57.1 compliant Single Width LPC FMC module, designed for use with Alpha
ata's VITA 57.1 compliant carrier cards. It provides the user with the connectivity to implement computationally
intensive applications such as frame grabbers, digital video communications and image processing systems in
FPGA fabric.
The adapter provides the connection between the FPGA card and the industry standard CameraLink high-speed
digital camera interface using the standard Shrunk Delta Ribbon Connectors from 3M.
The FMC-CLINK-MINI provides support for 2 Base configuration inputs or one Medium or Full configuration
input. In addition to being able to be used for image capture, the FMC-CLINK-MINI may also be used for
emulation of either up to two Base format cameras or one Medium / Full format camera.
The FMC also provides four LE s for use as status indicators, and a RS232 buffer.
For Power Over Camera Link (PoCL) support please contact [email protected].

3 Installation
The FMC-CLINK-MINI 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 Handlin instructions
Observe precautions for preventing damage to components by electrostatic discharge. Personnel handling the
board should take SS precautions.
Avoid flexing the board.
3.2 IO Volta e Selection
The required IO voltage for the FMC is 1.8V. This is stored in a ROM on the FMC, as per VITA 57.1 for automatic
configuration of supplies.
3.3 Confi uration
Before connecting to camera and power up in a system SW1 must be configured appropriately for the
application.
