CK-K7-KC724-G

The CK-K7-KC724-G from Xilinx is a 7 FPGA KC724 characterization kit. The Kintex®-7 FPGA KC724 characterization kit provides the hardware environment for characterizing and evaluating 16 GTX (12.5Gbps) transceivers of the on-board Kintex-7 K325T FPGA. The KC724 allows evaluation of the Integrated Bit Error Ratio Test (IBERT) demonstration using either the Vivado® or ISE® design suite. 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
• Expand I/O with the FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) interface
• BullsEye connector supporting a full GTX quad with four transmit/receive pairs
• System ACE™ SD controller, 326080 logic cells, 840 DSP slices, 16020Kb memory
• Four Samtec BullsEye connector pads for the GTX transceivers and reference clocks
• Two pairs of differential MRCC inputs with SMA connectors
• Power status LEDs, general purpose DIP switches, LEDs, push buttons and test I/O display
• Digilent USB JTAG programming port configuration
• Fixed, 200MHz 2.5V LVDS oscillator wired to multi region clock capable (MRCC) inputs clocking
