* HPC connections Figure 1: FMC168 block diagram Note1: Although the FMC168/4/2 is equipped with a HPC connector, it can be used in LPC carrier hardware. The LVDS interface on LPC runs at 500MHz DDR for 250Msps sampling rate. On HPC carriers the LVDS interface can be reduced to 250MHz DDR for 250Msps sampling.
Do not flex the card, and do not exceed the maximum torque specification on the SSMC connectors. • The FMC168/4/2 daughter card must be installed on a carrier card compliant to the FMC standard. • The FMC carrier card must support the low-pin count connector (160-pins) and may support the high-pin count connector (400-pins).

The tables below provide the front label to A/D converter and FMC signal mappings. For the FMC168, the mapping is 1-to-1.For the reduced channel variants, the front panel labels don’t always match the FMC connector signal names. For example, data sampled from FMC162 input B is present on FMC connector CHC_D[3..0] (QDR mode).
Table 4: FMC162 Connector function assignment 4.2 Electrical specifications The FMC168/4/2 card is designed to operate in LVDS mode. The connections on FMC bank LA allow simultaneous sampling of eight (FMC168), four (FMC164), or two (FMC162) channels. This is referred to as QDR LVDS mode. With the use of the connections on FMC bank HA and HB, the digital interface rate can be reduced by a factor of two.
4.2.5 JTAG The FMC168/4/2 has a CPLD device in the JTAG chain. The TDO pin of the CPLD is normally connected to the TDO pin of the top FMC connector through a buffer to ensure continuity of the JTAG chain.
Table 5 : FMC168/4/2 daughter card main characteristics 4.4 Analog input channels The analog input signals are connected to the FMC168/4/2 via SSMC connectors on the front panel. Each channel can be assembled as an AC-coupled or DC-coupled input. Optionally, the FMC164/2 supports differential inputs using two connectors per channel. A 125MHz low-pass input filter can be assembled..
Note 2: When external clock is enabled, the onboard VCO might cause interference. The VCO cannot be powered down on the FMC168/4 r1.0. Please contact Abaco to have the onboard VCO disabled for external clock applications.

UM031 FMC168/4/2 r1.7 reduce degradation of the data conversion performance. The user may choose to use an external sampling clock or an internal sampling clock. The AD9517 PLL and clock distribution device is the base of the clock tree. The external clock input is routed through RF switches and transformers that drive the reference input on the AD9517 (REFIN) and the primary clock input on the AD9517 (CLK).
