Featured Device: Cyclone IV GX Device
The Cyclone IV GX Transceiver starter board features the Cyclone IV GX
EP4CGX15BF14 device (U8) in a 169-pin FBGA package.
f For more information about Cyclone IV device family, refer to the Cyclone IV Device
Handbook .
Table 2–2 describes the features of the Cyclone IV GX EP4CGX15BF14 device.
Table 2–3 lists the Cyclone IV GX device component reference and manufacturing
information.
J8, J9 Transceiver RX SMA connectors Two input SMAs (optional) to the high-speed positive and negative
differential receiver channel. These connectors cannot be used
together with the Gigabit Ethernet port.
J10, J11 Transceiver TX SMA connectors Two output SMAs (optional) from the high-speed positive and
negative differential transmitter channel. These connectors cannot be
used together with the Gigabit Ethernet port.
C57, C58, C59,
C60 Transceiver RX capacitor
multiplexer Capacitor multiplexer which requires a minor modification on the
board if the optional transceiver RX SMA connectors (J8, J9) are
used.
R51, R52, R53,
R54 Transceiver TX resistor
multiplexer Resistor multiplexer which requires a minor modification on the
board if the optional transceiver TX SMA connectors (J11, J10) are
used.
Power Supply
J4 DC input jack Accepts a 9-V – 16-V DC power supply. Do not use this input jack
while the board is plugged into a PCI Express slot.
SW1 Power switch Switch to power on or off the board when power is supplied from the
DC input jack.
