Abstract

The clock and control (CC) system for the EuXFEL megapixel detectors was presented in TWEPP 2011. It consists of a multipurpose MTCA.4 AMC card with an FPGA and a custom designed Rear Transition Module (RTM). This paper presents the experiences with the system since its first prototype and the development of the final hardware. Experiences with the hardware included the tests performed to evaluate the system functionality such as Front End Electronics (FEE) communication and the performance metrics such as the FEE clock jitter. The final version of the CC hardware along with the associated firmware are also presented.
