XRM2-CLINK-MINI-RX User Manual
V1.0 - 08 03 2018
1 Introduction
The XRM2-CLINK-MINI-RX is a front panel adapter card designed for use with Alpha ata's A M-XRC
FPGA-based PMC, XMC or PCI(e) cards. It provides the user with the ability to implement computationally
intensive applications such as frame grabbers, digital video communications and image processing systems in
FPGA fabric. The XRM2-CLINK-MINI-RX provides Texas Instruments Channel Link deserialisers on the board.
The adapter provides the connectivity between the FPGA card and the industry standard CameraLink
high-speed digital camera interface using the standard Shrunk Delta Ribbon Connectors from 3M.
The XRM2-CLINK-MINI-RX provides support for 2 Base configuration inputs or one Medium or Full
configuration input.
Four LE s are provided for use as status indicators and RS232 interface is provided for debug purposes.
Power Over Camera Link (PoCL) can be optionally enabled by the FPGA.
Figure 1 : XRM2-CLINK-MINI-RX Block Diagram
2 Installation
The XRM2-CLINK-MINI-RX is designed to plug in to the XRM front panel connector (SAMTEC QSH series) on
an A M-XRC card. The retaining screws should be tightened to secure the XRM.
Note:This operation should not be performed while the host PMC, XMC or PCI(e) card is powered up.
2.1 Handling instructions
Observe precautions for preventing damage to components by electrostatic discharge. Personnel handling the
board should take SS precautions.
