\section{General Description}

The 1008 VHDCI Carrier is a 4hp EEM module, part of the ARTIQ/Sinara family. It is a passive adapter card which converts VHDCI connections to or from EEM connections.

The 1008 VHDCI Carrier is bidirectional; it can be driven by a core device carrier board, or can drive other cards.

A pair of VHDCI Carrier cards can be paired with VHDCI SCSI-3 cables to carry EEM signals over short distances between crates. Depending on the application, this can serve as a simple, low-cost, low-latency alternative to multiple core devices and ARTIQ DRTIO.

    Power supply is required when driving EEM cards. 12V should be supplied through barrel jacks (2.50 mm ID, 5.50 mm OD) either in front panel or at back of card.
