Abstract: The experiment PANDA (Antiproton Annihilation at Darmstadt) is under development for the future acceleratorfacility FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany. In the target spectrometer of PANDA a micro-vertex detector (MVD) will beused as the central tracking detector for charged particles. The design of the MVD is based on silicon strip detectors atthe outer layer and on silicon pixel detectors at the inner layers. Data from the readout ASICs in the front end are sentvia GBT opical link (CERN development) to a Multiplexing Layer, where 3 GBT links are aggregated to 1 10 Gbit/soptical link to the Level-1 Trigger network. The Multiplexing Layer will be implemented with MTCA.4. The so-calledHGF-AMC, a versatile AMC module developed by DESY in cooperation with KIT, will be used for the aggregation ofthe GBT links. The HGF-AMC is based on a Kintex-7 FPGA and supports MTCA.4. The paper presents the overallarchitecture and the ongoing developments.
