  To provide the generic clock, trigger and control function and fulfill the
data transmission performance requirement in high energy physics (HEP)
experiments, a MicroTCA Fast Control board (uFC) was developed based on the
Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) specification. Built around the Xilinx Kintex-7
FPGA, the uFC provides users with a platform with data memory, reference clock,
trigger and SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable) connections that are required in
general experiment. In addition, it has access to two on-board FPGA Mezzanine
Card (FMC) sockets with a large array of configurable I/O and high-speed links
up to 10 Gbps. This paper presents test results from the first set of
pre-production prototypes and reports on the application in High Energy Photon
Source in China.
