About the X5 XMC Modules
Chapter 5: About the X5 XMC Modules
In this chapter, we will discuss the common features of the X5 module family. Specifics on each module are covered in later
chapters.
X5 XMC Architecture
The X5 XMC modules share a common architecture and many features such as the PCI Express interface, data buffering
features, the Application Logic, and other system integration features. This allows the X5 XMC modules to utilize common
software and logic firmware, while providing unique analog and digital features.
