125 MHz Clock Generator
[Figure 1-2, callout 15]
Clock MUX U3 input 0 (pin4 P, pin 2 N) is driven by U2 ICS84402I Crystal-to-LVDS clock
generator. This device uses 25
MHz crystal X3 as its base input frequency and, via an
internal VCO, multiplies this by five to produce a 0.45
ps (typical) RMS phase jitter,
125
MHz LVDS output. The circuit for the 125 MHz clock is shown in Figure 1-13.
GTP SMA Clock Input
[Figure 1-2, callout 9]
The AC701 board includes a pair of SMA connectors for a GTP clock that are wired to GTP
quad bank 213 via clock MUX U4. This differential clock has signal names
SMA_MGT_REFCLK_P and SMA_REFCLK_N, which are connected to MGT clock MUX
U4 input 0 pins 4 and 2 respectively. The clock MUX output pins 10 (P-side) and 11 (N-side)
are capacitively coupled to FPGA U1 GTP quad 213 MGTREFCLK1 pin AA11 and AB11
respectively.
Figure 1-14 shows this direct-coupled SMA clock input circuit.
