Tip for Designing PicoZed Carrier Card with SFP+ Transceivers

Hello All!

I wanted to post about a performance improvement to help those designing their own Carrier Card for the PicoZed hardware.
Here at Avnet, for our Rev A, B and C carriers, we used the TE Connectivity 1367073-1. It has a rated speed up to 4.0Gbps. It is quite adequate to run the PicoZed 7015-1 speed grade as well as the 7030 up to 4Gbps.
If you need a higher data rate, we recommend you change that part to the TE Connectivity part number 1888247-2. It is rated MUCH MUCH higher (10Gbps). It is rated above the highest transceiver speed rating for the fastest PicoZed SOM - the PicoZed 7030.

I hope this helps!

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Hi there,

I wanted to let everyone know that we now have a series of Tech Tips posted that can help you understand the tool side of the transceivers on the PicoZed family.

Hi Daniel, does the SFP on the carrier card have a lower speed limit? I would like it to be compatible with Fast Ethernet SFP modules (100Mbps) as well as Gigabit modules

Hi there,

It will have a limit of 3.75Gbps on a 7015 -1 speed grade, 6.25Gbps on a 7015 -2 speed grade and 6.6Gbps on a 7030 based PicoZed SOM.

I would think those speeds are adequate for your needs.
