FMC connector template

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi,

I'm about to start a new PCB using the FMC connector on Zedboard.

To save myself some work, i'm looking for a template, preferably in Altium, for an FMC daughter board. I basically just need the connector footprint, support hole positions and net names.

I looked around but could not find anything useful. Does anyone have a template?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I don't think that we have a template but could you use one of the Altium PCB outlines from an existing FMC board?

    Take a look at this thread here which is along similar lines:

    Hi Kevin,

    I ended up rolling my own (Altium sch symbol with zed net names and foot print). If you have a repo somewhere, i can upload the template (after i tested it in our design).

    Regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I am glad to hear you found a way to move forward on this.  That is very nice of you to offer sharing this template back to us!

    I don't know if we have a repo for this stuff, but I can ask the hardware guys if there is someplace we can publish it.  Please let me know how your testing goes and PM me directly.

    Regards,

    -Kevin

    We found another thing in the "ZedBoard Master XDC Rev C/D v2 16.Apr.1" that is related;

    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # FMC Expansion Connector - Bank 34
    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    set_property PACKAGE_PIN L19 [get_ports {FMC_CLK0_N}];  # "FMC-CLK0_N"
    set_property PACKAGE_PIN L18 [get_ports {FMC_CLK0_P}];  # "FMC-CLK0_P"
    set_property PACKAGE_PIN M20 [get_ports {FMC_LA00_CC_N}];  # "FMC-LA00_CC_N"
    set_property PACKAGE_PIN M19 [get_ports {FMC_LA00_CC_P}];  # "FMC-LA00_CC_P"
    set_property PACKAGE_PIN N20 [get_ports {FMC_LA01_CC_N}];  # "FMC-LA01_CC_N"
    set_property PACKAGE_PIN N19 [get_ports {FMC_LA00_CC_P}];  # "FMC-LA01_CC_P"  <<<<< This is an error, should be FMC_LA01_CC_P

    Regards,
    Mike

    Hello Mike,

     

    You are correct. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

     

    We will make the correction and post the updated xdc file.

    Hi,

    here's a tested Zed board specific FMC connector for Alitum Designer. Includes schematic symbol, pcb footprint and 3D model. 

    I used pretty much all pins, and it appears correct.

    Please use and share as you wish.

    Regards,
    Mike
