Cage Interface Card (CIF)

Source: Aeroflex
The Cage Interface Card (CIF) provides eight front panel general purpose external asynchronous Programmable Function Input (PFI) triggers, which can be outputs or inputs with programmable thresholds. It also provides four differential star-distributed triggers to each AXIe slot (DSTAR). The module also provides one single clock pulse software trigger, utilizing a 1 MHz clock that can be delayed by 8 bit pre-scaler. Triggering flexibility is achieved through the use of full non-blocking connections between the PFI and star triggers. A dedicated digital sub-system trigger connection allows inter-chassis digital synchronization (with the optional Digital Synchronization Module).

Datasheet: Cage Interface Card (CIF)

Each CIF creates a 10 MHz reference clock that can be phase locked to an external 10 MHz reference. The 10 MHz reference can be daisy chained to other chassis. A 100 MHz reference is generated from this 10 MHz reference. Both the 10 MHz and 100 MHz references are busses to all slots within the chassis.
