Abstract
The MicroTCA.4 Fast Control and Processing board (u4FCP) is an FPGA-based double-width MicroTCA.4 compatible Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) for generic control and data acquisition applications in High-Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. Built around the Xilinx Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA, the u4FCP provides users with a platform which has access to on-board FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) sockets with an array of configurable I/O and high-speed links up to 100 Gbps. In addition, the rear transition module (RTM) allows separation of processing and I/O functionality with the Kintex -7 FPGA and more FMC sockets. The increased processing capacity and area on the RTM allow a significant increase in the amount of FPGA logic and I/O connections. The on-going R&D effort carried out on applications in HEP experiments is presented.
