Datasheet
The on-board Pmod expansion connector labeled “JXADC” is wired to the auxiliary analog input pins of the FPGA.
Depending on the configuration, this connector can be used to input differential analog signals to the analog-to-digital
converter inside the Kintex-7 (XADC). Any or all pairs in the connector can be configured either as analog input or
digital input-output.
The Dual Analog/Digital Pmod on the Genesys 2 differs from the rest in the routing of its traces. The eight data signals
are grouped into four pairs, with the pairs routed closely coupled for better analog noise immunity. Furthermore, each
pair has a partially loaded anti-alias filter (100 ohm, 1 nF) laid out on the PCB. The filter does not have capacitors C151,
C152, C153, and C154. In designs where such filters are desired, the capacitors can be manually loaded by the user.
NOTE: The coupled routing and the anti-alias filters might limit the data speeds when used for digital signals.
The XADC core within the Kintex-7 is a dual channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter capable of operating at 1 MSPS.
Either channel can be driven by any of the auxiliary analog input pairs connected to the JXADC header. The XADC core
is controlled and accessed from a user design via the Dynamic Reconfiguration Port (DRP). This includes access to the
temperature sensor and voltage monitors inside the FPGA. For more information on using the XADC core, refer to the
Xilinx document titled “7 Series FPGAs and Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC XADC Dual 12-Bit 1 MSPS Analog-to-
Digital Converter User Guide” (

15. High Pin Count FMC Connector
The Genesys 2 includes a FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) Standard-conforming carrier card connector that enables
connecting mezzanine modules compliant with the same standard. Genesys 2-based designs can now be easily extended
with custom or off-the-shelf high-performance modules.
The actual connector used is a 400-pin Samtec ASP-134486-01, the high-pin count, 10mm stacking height variant of the
standard. It is fully bonded to the FPGA, with the exception of CLK3_BIDIR. The 80 differential pairs wired to regular
FPGA user I/O pins are grouped into FMC banks: 34 pairs in LA, 24 pairs in HA and 22 pairs in HB. LA and HA pairs
are powered by the Genesys 2 VADJ rail adjustable in the 1.2V-3.3V range. On the other hand, HB signals are referenced
to a voltage rail provided by the FMC mezzanine card (VIO_B_M2C). For this reason a whole FPGA bank is dedicated
to HB signals exclusively. This bank remains unpowered, and HB signals cannot be used, if no FMC mezzanine card, or
one that does not provide VIO_B_M2C is connected to the Genesys 2.
Thanks to the flexible voltage range supported by the Genesys 2 it allows high compatibility with existing and future
FMC modules. The Genesys 2 opens the door to the full range of I/O standards supported by the Kintex-7 HR (High
Range) I/O architecture over the FMC connector.
The pin-out of the FMC connector can be found in the UCF/XDC constraints file available on

For above-gigabit speed rates, all ten gigabit transceiver lanes and two accompanying clock pairs are wired to GTX
transceiver banks. Kintex-7 transceiver banks group four lanes and two reference clock input together, and are also called
quads.
Each transceiver lane includes a receive pair and a transmit pair. Lanes DP0-DP3 are wired to quad 115. Lanes DP4-DP7
go to quad 116, along with the two reference clocks GBTCLK0 and GBTCLK1. The last two lanes DP8 and DP9 are
connected to quad 117, while the rest of the pins in these three quads are left unused.
Since an MGTREFCLK can be routed to both the quad above and below its own, both reference clocks can be used to
clock any channel in the three quads. Table 12, Table 13, and Table 14 show how the FMC gigabit signals are mapped to
