TSPD offers digitizer products with various interfaces. We will introduce the models with MTCA interface, along with application-specific firmware developped for those products.

13. A high-speed MTCA.4-based digitizer for the J-PARC MR

Yasuyuki Sugiyama (KEK/J-PARC)

J-PARC Main Ring (MR) delivers the 30-GeV protons to the particle physics experiment. Microwave instabilities have been observed in the J-PARC MR during both the acceleration for the beam to the neutrino experiment and the debunching process for the beam to the hadron experiment. Since the instability does not occur every shot, monitoring the waveform of the beam signal for every shot is...

10. MMC Software Engineering: Challenges and Solutions

Ryuta Kitagawa (MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC DEFENSE AND SPACE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION)

The Module Management Controller (MMC) is a critical intelligent controller responsible for managing AMC boards. It communicates with the MTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) via the Intelligent Platform Management Bus Local (IPMB-L). Since 2010, we have been developing MMC software for our AMC and uRTM boards. During development, we encountered challenges related to the complex protocols defined in the...
