ARM MPS3 User Manual

2.17 FMC-HPC interface
The MPS3 board supports high speed, high pin count expansion using the FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC)
standard.
Overview of the FMC-HPC interface
The MPS3 board uses the FMC
‑ High Pin Count (FMC‑HPC) variant and provides:
• One 400‑way Samtec SEARAY connector.
• 160 I/O.
• 10 × high‑speed differential transceivers, Multi ‑ Gigabit Transceivers (MGTs).
• 2 × high‑speed differential clocks, MGT clocks.
• Four differential clocks.
• Power.
The following figure shows the MPS3 board FMC‑HPC interface.

Note
The FMC board configuration EEPROM is part of the FMC standard. The Arm daughterboard
configuration EEPROM and Daughterboard Configuration Controller (DCC) are not part of the FMC
standard but are supplied with Arm FMC daughterboards.
FPGA-FMC pin connectivity
The FPGA-FMC pin connectivity is available in Application Note AN533 Blinky example FPGA image
for the MPS3 Prototyping Board.
