/FMC-to-Card-Edge-Level-Shifter

An 88 channel conversion board with built-in level shifting designed to interface an 88-pin probe card with a Virtex-7 VC707 FPGA via an FMC cable.

FMC-to-Card-Edge-Level-Shifter

This repository contains an 88 channel conversion board designed to interface an 88-pin probe card with a Virtex-7 VC707 FPGA via an FMC cable. Additional level shifting was required to lower the FPGAs 1.8V logic to 1.2V for 58 signals. Simple voltage dividers were chosen for this purpose.
