User SMA Clock Input
[Figure 1-2, callout 8]
An external high-precision clock signal can be provided to the FPGA bank 15 by
connecting differential clock signals through the onboard 50Ω SMA connectors J31 (P) and
J32 (N). The differential clock signal names are USER_SMA_CLOCK_P and
USER_SMA_CLOCK_N, which are connected to FPGA U1 pins J23 and H23 respectively.
The user-provided differential clock circuit is shown in
Figure 1-12.
Note: This user clock is input to FPGA bank 15 which is powered by VCCO_VADJ. The
VCCO_VADJ rail is typically 2.5V but may be reprogrammed to be either 1.8V or 3.3V. The
USER_SMA_CLOCK_P/N signals should not exceed the VCCO_VADJ voltage (1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V)
in use.
