Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA VC707 Evaluation Kit

The Virtex®-7 FPGA VC707 Evaluation Kit is a full-featured, highly-flexible, high-speed serial base platform using the Virtex-7 XC7VX485T-2FFG1761C and includes basic components of hardware, design tools, IP, and pre-verified reference designs for system designs that demand high-performance, serial connectivity and advanced memory interfacing. The included pre-verified reference designs and industry-standard FPGA Mezzanine Connectors (FMC) allow scaling and customization with daughter cards.

Board Features

Clocking

  • Fixed Oscillator with differential 200MHz output used as the “system” clock for the FPGA
  • Programmable Oscillator with 156.250 MHz as the default output and frequency targeted for Ethernet applications but oscillator is programmable for many end uses
  • Differential SMA clock input
  • Differential SMA GTX reference clock input
  • Jitter attenuated clock used to support CPRI/OBSAI applications that perform clock recovery from a user-supplied SFP/SFP+ module

Configuration

  • Onboard JTAG configuration circuitry to enable configuration over USB
  • JTAG header provided for use with Xilinx download cables such as the Platform Cable USB II
  • 128MB (1024Mb) Linear BPI Flash for PCIe® Configuration
  • 16MB (128Mb) Quad SPI Flash

Expansion Connectors

  • FMC1 – HPC (8 XCVR, 160 single ended or 80 differential (34 LA pairs, 24 HA pairs, 22 HB pairs) user-defined pins)
  • FMC2 – HPC (8 XCVR, 116 single ended or 58 differential (34 LA pairs, 24 HA pairs) user-defined pins)
  • Vadj supports 1.8V
  • IIC

Communication & Networking

  • Gigabit Ethernet GMII, RGMII and SGMII
  • SFP+ transceiver connector
  • GTX port (TX, RX) with four SMA connectors
  • UART To USB Bridge
  • PCI Express x8 gen2 Edge Connector (lay out for Gen3)
