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.
