CK-V7-VC7203-G

The CK-V7-VC7203-G from Xilinx is a Virtex-7 FPGA VC7203 characterization kit. The Virtex®-7 FPGA VC7203 characterization kit provides the hardware environment for characterizing and evaluating 28 GTX (12.5Gbps) transceivers of the on-board Virtex-7 V485T FPGA. The VC7203 allows evaluation of the Integrated Bit Error Ratio Test (IBERT) demonstration using either the Vivado™ or ISE® design suites. Each GTX quad and its associated reference clock are routed from the FPGA to a connector pad which is designed to interface with a Samtec BullsEye connector. A cable enabled with a BullsEye connector and 10 standard SMAs allows users to connect to a broad range of evaluation platforms, from backplanes and optical evaluation boards to high speed test equipment. Each BullsEye connector handles a full GTX quad, four transmit/receive pairs as well as the two independent reference clocks, enabling the highest level of flexibility in testing custom applications.

• Hardware, design tools, IP and pre-verified reference designs
• Integrated Bit Error Ratio Test (IBERT) reference design
• BullsEye connector supporting a full GTX quad with four transmit/receive pairs
• Nine Samtec BullsEye connector pads for the GTX transceivers and reference clocks
• Two pairs of differential MRCC inputs with SMA connectors
• System ACE™ SD controller memory, Digilent USB JTAG programming port configuration
• Expand I/O with 3 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) interface, 485760 logic cells, 2800 DSP slices
• Power status LEDs and general purpose DIP switches, LEDs, push buttons and test I/O display
• SuperClock-2 module supporting multiple frequencies, 37080Kb memory
• Fixed, 200MHz 2.5V LVDS oscillator wired to multi region clock capable (MRCC) inputs clocking
