Reference Manual

D26

Load LED

Illuminates during embedded USB-Blaster data transfers.

D27

Error LED

Illuminates when the FPGA configuration from flash fails.

D24

Power LED

Illuminates when 12-V power is present.

D32, D33, D34,
D35

Ethernet LEDs

Shows the connection speed as well as transmit or receive activity.

D3, D4

HSMC port A LEDs

You can configure these LEDs to indicate transmit or receive activity.

(x1, x4, x8).

Clock Circuitry

X1

125 M oscillator

125.000-MHz crystal oscillator for Gigabit Ethernet, Serial RapidIO™
(SRIO), or PCI Express.

X2

156 M oscillator

156.250-MHz crystal oscillator for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or XAUI.

X3

148 M oscillator

148.500-MHz voltage controlled crystal oscillator for SDI Video.

X6

100 M oscillator

100.000-MHz crystal oscillator for PCI Express or general use such as
memories. Multiplex with CLKIN_SMA_P based on CLK_SEL switch
value.

X7

155 M oscillator

155.520-MHz crystal oscillator for SONET.

X8

50 M oscillator

J15, J14

Clock input SMAs

Drives LVPECL-compatible clock inputs into the U50 clock multiplexer
buffer.

J9

Clock output SMA

Drives out 2.5-V CMOS clock outputs from the FPGA.

General User Input and Output

D6-D13
D16-D23

User LEDs

16 user LEDs. Illuminates when driven low.

SW3

S3, S4, S5

General user push buttons

Three user push buttons. Driven low when pressed.

SW2

Power monitor rotary switch

Selects the power rail being measured and also the FPGA image to load
on power-up; 0 selects factory image and 1 selects user-defined
image.

Memory Devices
