Pin Connection Guidelines
Please see the table below on guidelines for connecting all IOs on the Speedster22i HD FPGAs. For completeness, debug I/Os that
have no user functionality have also been included and are indicated by a grey background.

12.75 Gbps SerDes (64 lanes)
PAD_TE_I_BCK_REF_P/M_LNUM[31:0]
N12P75G
Clock
The 12.75 Gbps SerDes reference clock supplied from either a
single-ended or differential external source. There is 1
differential pair for each of 2, 12.75Gbps lane.
Connect these clocks for all SerDes lanes
used in the interface. Unused clocks should
be tied to their own individual GND via a
50Ω +/- 1% termination resistor.
Note: For PCIe Gen3 operation when using
the hard PCIe controller, reference clocks
for all 8 SerDes lanes need to be connected
regardless of the data width implemented.
PAD_TE_I_BA_RX_P/M_LNUM[31:0]
N12P75G
Input
Receive differential inputs to the 12.75 Gbps SerDes. One pair
for each lane.
Connect all unused receive pins directly to
GND via a 50Ω +/- 1% termination resistor.
PAD_TE_O_BA_APROBE_LNUM[31:0]
N12P75G
Output
The 12.75 Gbps SerDes Analog DC test pad used internally for
debug and testing, one for each lane.
Leave unconnected.
PAD_TE_O_BA_TX_P/M_LNUM[31:0]
N12P75G
Output
Transmit differential outputs from the 12.75 Gbps SerDes.
There is one differential pair per each 12.75Gbps lane.
These pins should be AC coupled. Leave all
unused transmit pins unconnected.
PAD_BE_I_BCK_REF_P/M_LNUM[31:0]
S12P75G
Clock
The 12.75 Gbps SerDes reference clock supplied from either a
single-ended or differential external source. There is 1
differential pair for each of 2, 12.75Gbps lane.
Connect these clocks for all SerDes lanes
used in the interface. Unused clocks should
be tied to their own individual GND via a
50Ω +/- 1% termination resistor.

PAD_BE_I_BA_RX_P/M_LNUM[31:0]
S12P75G
Input
Receive differential inputs to the 12.75 Gbps SerDes. One pair
for each lane.
Connect all unused receive pins directly to
GND via a 50Ω +/- 1% termination resistor.
PAD_BE_O_BA_APROBE_LNUM[31:0]
S12P75G
Output
The 12.75 Gbps SerDes Analog DC test pad used for ATE and
bench testing, one for each lane
Leave unconnected.
PAD_BE_O_BA_TX_P/M_LNUM[31:0]
S12P75G
Output
Transmit differential outputs from the 12.75 Gbps SerDes.
There is one differential pair per each 12.75Gbps lane.
These pins should be AC coupled. Leave all
unused transmit pins unconnected.
