Application Information
The TAMC532-TM is a MTCA.4 compliant Micro Rear
Transition Module for the TAMC532. Eight RJ45
connectors are used as input connectors for the 32
differential analog inputs of the TAMC532 TM.
Each of the 32 differential analog inputs is connected to its
own filter block.
The filter block consists of an input Buffer with
programmable gain, a Gaussian shaping amplifier with
programmable shaping time and an output buffer with
adjustable baseline shift. The Pole-Zero compensation is
adjustable by use of a digital potentiometer. This is ideal
for readout of charge sensitive preamplifiers.
The baseline shift is useful if the input signal is always
positive (or negative). It allows to increase the gain and to
make better use of the ADC input voltage range.
All settings are common for groups of 8 inputs.
The output of the filter block is accessible by the AMC via
Zone 3.
A Clock input is available in the TAMC532-TM front panel
as well. A coaxial connector is used to feed the singleended
signal into the TAMC532-TM. After a single-ended
to LVDS conversion, the signal is connected to Zone 3,
RTM_CLK0.
Zone 3 pin assignment and the μRTM management
implementation are MTCA.4 compliant and comply with
Zone 3 Classification Recommendation according to
Class A2.1.
