Tim connectors – Sundance SMT398VP User Manual
Page 17
• Up to 16 DC coupled Rocket I/Os are available.(Rocket I/Os can be AC coupled
on demand).
• The 16 MGTs can be configured to implement different MGT interfaces. A
mezzanine board which can plug on the SMT398VP RSL connector could
potentially provide the connectors needed by the serial IO standard, for instance:
Infiniband, Serial ATA, Ethernet channels...
• The maximum transfer rate is 2.5Gbits/s on a Virtex II Pro -6 part.

Table 1: Communication standard supported by Rocket IO transceivers
4.1.4.11. TIM Connectors
TIM connectors provide 6 communication links (ComPorts) to the FPGA.
They allow interfacing to Sundance TIM modules or to a Host PC providing that you
implement a ComPort Interface inside the FPGA. (See 2.1.2. )
The ComPort interface is available in Sundance SMT6500 support package.
The FPGA io banks hosting the ComPort signals are powered using Vcco = 3.3v.
The TIM connectors also provide power/ground, reset and various control signals.
