Detailed Description
R
The native output of the ICS843001-21 is LVPECL, so a resistor network is present to
change the voltage swing to LVDS levels. The LVDS output is then multiplexed out
through Series AC coupling capacitors to allow the clock input of the FPGA to set the
common mode voltage.
SATA GTP/GTX Transceiver Clock Generation
An Integrated Circuit Systems ICS844051-1 chip generates a high-quality, low-jitter,
75-MHz or 150-MHz LVDS clock from an inexpensive 25-MHz crystal oscillator. This clock
is sent to the GTP/GTX transceiver driving the SATA connectors. Jumper J56 sets the
SATA GTP/GTX transceiver clock frequency (see Table 1-32). Series AC coupling
capacitors are also present to allow the clock input of the FPGA to set the common mode
voltage.
SGMII / Loopback GTP/GTX Transceiver Clock Generation
An Integrated Circuit Systems ICS844021I chip generates a high-quality, low-jitter,
125-MHz LVDS clock from an inexpensive 25-MHz crystal oscillator. This clock is sent to
the GTPs driving the SGMII or onboard loopback interfaces. Series AC coupling capacitors
are also present to allow the clock input of the FPGA to set the common mode voltage.
