  • FMC carrier board electrical validation
  • FMC carrier board testing at assembly facilities

Ordering Code:

KY-FMCLPBK

The FMC loopback tester board enables developers and assembly factories to test and characterize the FMC carrier board interfaces. The board features full differential loopbacks on all the FMC high pin count (HPC) connector interfaces including LA, HA, HB, DP, and CLK. It also provides a 125MHz transceiver LVDS reference clocks on GBTCLK signals. The FMC loopback board is based on VITA 57 standard with ruggedized conduction or air cooling.
