The CM044 AMC-based Concentration Board (CoBo) is a high-performance data processor designed according to the PICMG MTCA.0 specifications. The board is targeted for General Electronics (GET) for Time Projection Chamber (TPC) project. The AMC module intelligently reads, reduces and concentrates the high data throughput of TPC detectors. The CoBo AMC interfaces to external ASIC ADCs, timing boards, controller and storage farms. The module comes in the double module, full-size AMC format with 1GbE on ports 0, 4. Port 1 is used for GET Clocks and Ports 8-11 are used for GET Data.
