FMC nanoFIP
FMC-nanoFIP is an ‘Agent’ (slave) interface card for the
WorldFIP network
in an LPC FMC
form-factor.

The main components of the FMC-nanoFIP board are:
- The nanoFIP rad-tol FPGA that acts as a client node in the communication over the WorldFIP fieldbus.
- The FielDrive bus driver and FieldTR insulating transformer, both developed and sold by the company Alstom.
The schematics and the layout of the board, drawn in KiCad, are available at CERN’s EDMS.
Different board executions exist depending on the WorldFIP communication speed: 31.25kbps, 1Mbps, 2.5Mbps, and 5Mbps; a set of ten components differentiates the board executions.
