Chapter 1: AC701 Evaluation Board Features
Configuration Mode Switch SW1
The AC701 board supports two of the five 7 series FPGA configuration modes:
• Master SPI using the on-board Quad SPI flash memory
• JTAG using a standard-A to micro-B USB cable for connecting the host PC to the
AC701 board configuration port (via Digilent module)
Each configuration interface corresponds to one or more configuration modes and bus
widths as listed in
Table 1-25. The mode switches M2, M1, and M0 are on SW1 positions 1,
2, and 3 respectively as shown in Figure 1-39.
Note: On the AC701 board, SW1 switch position 2 is not used.
The default mode setting is M[2:0] = 001, which selects Master SPI at board power-on.
See UG470, 7 Series FPGAs Configuration User Guide for further details on configuring the 7
series FPGAs.
FPGA Mezzanine Card Interface
[Figure 1-2, callout 29]
The AC701 board supports the VITA 57.1 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) specification by
providing high pin count (HPC) connector J30. HPC J30 is keyed so that a the mezzanine
card faces away from the AC701 board when connected.
Signaling Speed Ratings:
• Single-ended: 9 GHz (18 Gb/s)
• Differential Optimal Vertical: 9 GHz (18 Gb/s)
• Differential Optimal Horizontal: 16 GHz (32 Gb/s)
• High Density Vertical: 7 GHz (15 Gb/s)
