Chapter 3: Board Component Descriptions
Tab l e 3- 1 8 and Table 3 -19 provides guidance on external clocking modifications.
IMPORTANT: To provide external sources from the RFMC connector, the default capacitors must be
carefully moved to optional capacitor locations.
By default, the LMK04208 provides a clock to the DAC bank 228 SYSREF clock input pins.
IMPORTANT: To provide an external SYSREF clock with the onboard optional SMAs, the default
capacitors must be carefully moved to optional capacitor locations.
Before making ZCU111 RF clock capacitor modifications, refer to the PC board layout and
identify the metal RF cage associated with the capacitors of interest:
• C632/C640, C646/C718: RFCAGE2
• C683/C690, C692/C699: REFCAGE3
• C666/C673, C675/C682: RFCAGE4
• C742 and C743: RFCAGE1
The appropriate cage lid must be removed to make the capacitor modifications, and
replaced upon completion.
To implement the external clock source capability, remove (desolder) the default capacitors
and solder them onto the pads at the optional external source capacitors locations shown in
the above tables (e.g., for Tabl e 3-1 8, U102 Channel A, remove C632 and solder it at C948,
remove C640 and solder it at C949, and so on). Due to via-in-pad component footprints,
Xilinx recommends the rework be implemented by an expert rework technician.
