AC701 Prototype PCB Design

SatCat5 Logo

The design files in this folder are for a custom PCB that is designed to attach to an FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) connector. HPC variants are preferred, but LPC is also supported with reduced functionality. All I/O is either LVDS or 2.5LVCMOS.

The design is compatible with the following dev cards:

The .PCB file was created using MentorGraphics PADS. A viewer can be downloaded from MentorGraphics free of charge (registration required).

IMPORTANT NOTE

These files are for the as-built prototype design, dated 2018 December 12. The schematic has not been updated to reflect problems that were discovered after manufacture.

As a result, the following fixes are required:

  • Replace linear regulators U9 and U10 with 3.3V equivalent. (Wrong voltage.)
  • Replace C73, C74, C173, C174 with 0-ohm resistor. (Xilinx LVDS inputs are not self-biasing.)

These changes have been made on the BOM, but not on the schematic.
