TimEX3
The TimEX3 is a multipurpose 3U compact PCI board designed to perform
simple to medium complex logical functions.
This board is mainly used for the synchronization system of
SOLEIL.
The foreseen uses include:
- 1 TTL input to 4 TTL outputs signal duplication.
- 1 TTL input to 4 LVPECL outputs signal conversion and duplication.
- Top-up gating.
- Trigger monitoring.
These functions are done with a FPGA and by configuring the board during
the manufacturing.
The same PCB is used, but different components will be soldered
depending on the function
needed.

Our first board designed with KiCad finished and validated
The TimEX3 board is now in use at SOLEIL. It was designed with the open
source EDA KiCad.
Overall, our experience with KiCad was positive. It was easy to learn
and to use, especially compared to some commercial software.
We didn’t encounter any major problem or bug and the development of the
board progressed almost flawlessly.
