The datasheet for the Marvell 88E1518 is not available publicly. An NDA is required for this 
information. Please contact your local Avnet or Marvell representative for assistance.

2.9.1  LPC FMC Connector 
A single low-pin count (LPC) FMC slot is provided on the ZedBoard to support a large ecosystem 
of plug-in modules. The LPC FMC exposes 68 single-ended I/O, which can be configured as 34 
differential pairs. The FMC interface spans over two PL I/O banks, banks 34 and 35. To meet 
the FMC spec, these banks are powered from an adjustable voltage set by jumper, J18. 
Selectable voltages include 1.8V, default, and 2.5V.  It is also possible to set Vadj to 3.3V. Since 
3.3V could potentially be the most damaging voltage setting for Vadj, this is not available with the 
default board hardware. To set Vadj to 3.3V, solder a short across the 3V3 pads at J18 or solder 
in an additional 1x2 header. 
WARNING: Before attaching a FMC Card, ensure the correct voltage is selected on jumper, J18. 
Failure to do so may result in damage to the FMC card and/or the ZedBoard. 
Note, the following LPC FMC connections guidelines were followed:  
  CLK_#_M2C 
–  50 ohm single-ended impedance 
–  Less than 10mil skew in P/N pair 
–  Connected to GC (Global Clock) preferential or MRCC (Multi-Region) if not 
available 
–  No length matching to any other feature 
  LA bus 
–  50 ohm single-ended impedance 
–  Less than 10mil skew in P/N pair 
–  Less than 100mil length skew across all bits in a bus 
•  No restriction between LA, HA or HB 
–  LA Bus 0:16 to be located in one bank 
–  LA Bus 17:33 to be located in one bank  
–  CC Pairs 0, 17 to be placed on MRCC pins 
–  CC Pairs 1, 18 to be placed on SRCC pins 
•  HB_06_CC optional placed on clock pin if available 
  To conserve EPP pins, GA[1:0] were removed from EPP and connected to GND.
