The FMC259 is an FPGA Mezzanine Module per VITA 57.4 (FMC+) specification. The FMC259 has dual Board-Mount Optical Assemblies, each providing 24 channel full-duplex transceivers with Clock Data Recovery and front-panel fiber I/O via MTP/MPO. Transceivers are available in two speed grades,10.6 Gb/s and 28.1 Gb/s per channel, both with multi-rate capability. The 10.6 Gb/s can drive 100 m over OM3 MM Fiber and 28.1 Gb/s can drive 100 m over OM4 MM Fiber.
The module has an on board Ultra-Low Jitter Clock Generator with two independent, fractional PLL. The clocking allows synchronization to an external clock input or on board. Six clocks are routed to the GBT’s on the FMC+ pinouts and two are routed to CLK0 and CLK1 for a total of 8 clock outputs.
The Module has LEDs in Green/Yellow to allow for LNK/ACT, debugging or other user defined.
