The AMC-MKX1 module is a full-size AMC card suitable for use in mATCA and AdvancedTCA platforms, designed to meet the processing needs of high-performance applications in demanding nuclear fusion data acquisition applications and compliant to the ATCA-PTSW-AMC4 AMC carrier. The AMC-MKX1 is based on the Mercury KX1 FPGA module (M-KX1) which provides large processing power on the inboard Xilinx® Kintex™-7 FPGA (XC7K325T). The M-KX1 module is accommodated in the AMC module through two 168-pin Hirose FX10 connectors. AMC-KX1 is intended for high-performance, high-bandwidth, and low-latency processing applications.
