The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS II) is a free electron laser (FEL) light source. LCLS II will be able to produce 0.5 to 77 Angstroms soft and hard x-rays. In order to achieve this high level of performance, the electron beam needs to be stable and accurate. The LCLS II stripline BPM system has a dynamic range of 10pC to 1nC beam charge. The system has a 3.5 micrometer resolution at 250pC beam charge in an one inch diameter stripline BPM structure. The BPM system uses the MicroTCA physics platform that consists of analog front-end (AFE) and 16-bit analog to digital convertor (ADC) module. The paper will discuss the hardware design, architecture, and performance measurements on the SLAC LINAC. The hardware architecture includes bandpass filter at 300MHz with 15 MHz band-width, and BPM calibration process without communicating with the CPU module. The system will be able to process multibunch beams with 40ns spacing.
