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&trade; or ISE&reg; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.<br /><br /><strong>Applications:</strong><br /> <ul> <li>Embedded Design &amp; Development</li> </ul> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>Hardware environment for characterizing and evaluating 28 GTX (12.5Gbps) transceivers on the Virtex-7 V485T FPGAs</li> <li>Hardware, design tools, IP, and pre-verified reference designs</li> <li>Integrated Bit Error Ratio Test (IBERT) reference design</li> <li>BullsEye connector supporting a full GTX Quad, with four transmit/receive pairs</li> <li>Nine Samtec BullsEye connector pads for the GTX transceivers and reference clocks</li> <li>Two pairs of differential MRCC inputs with SMA connectors</li> <li>System ACE&trade; SD controller</li> <li>Expand I/O with 3 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) interface</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>VC7203 evaluation board&nbsp;</li> <li>Samtec Bullseye cable (10 standard SMAs)&nbsp;</li> <li>Full seat Vivado&reg; Design Suite: Design Edition (node locked &amp; device locked to the Virtex-7 XC7VX485T FPGA, with 1 year of updates)</li> <li>Superclock-2 module supporting multiple frequencies</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Quick Start Guide</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/boards_and_kits/vc7203/2015_1/ug847-vc7203-ibert-gsg-vivado.pdf" target="_blank">Virtex-7 FPGA VC7203 Characterization Kit IBERT (pdf)</a> </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/boards_and_kits/virtex-7/vc7203_gsg/v1_0/ug846-vc7203-ibert-gsg-ise.pdf" target="_blank">VC7203 IBERT Getting Started Guide (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">User Manual/Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/boards_and_kits/vc7203/ug957-vc7203-gtx-char-board-ug.pdf" target="_blank">VC7203 Virtex-7 FPGA GTX Transceiver Characterization Board (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Bill of Materials</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-code"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/member/forms/download/design-license.html?cid=195421&amp;filename=vc7203-bom-rdf0254-rev1-0.zip" target="_blank">vc7203-bom-rdf0254-rev1-0.zip-----Need to register (html)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Board Support Package</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-code"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/member/forms/download/design-license.html?cid=195418&amp;filename=vc7203-allegro-board-source-rdf0253-rev1-0.zip" target="_blank">vc7203-allegro-board-source-rdf0253-rev1-0.zip------Need to register (html)</a> </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-code"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/member/forms/download/design-license.html?cid=195424&amp;filename=vc7203-gerber-files-rdf0255-rev1-0.zip" target="_blank">vc7203-gerber-files-rdf0255-rev1-0.zip----Need to registor (html)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Schematics/Layout Files</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-code"></i> <a href="https://www.xilinx.com/member/forms/download/design-license.html?cid=195430&amp;filename=vc7203-schematic-source-rdf0257-rev1-0.zip" target="_blank">vc7203-schematic-source-rdf0257-rev1-0.zip--------Need to resister (html)</a> </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: transceivers, VC7203, ibert, xilinx, primary_platforms, characterization, bullseye, mcu, development_platforms_kits</div>
