Evaluation Board User’s Guide Introduction This user’s guide describes the LatticeSC PCI Express x1 Evaluation Board featuring the LatticeSC LFSCM3GA25 device in a 900 fpBGA package. The stand-alone evaluation PCB provides a functional platform for development and rapid prototyping of applications that require high-speed SERDES interfaces to PCI Express protocols.
Applying Power to the Board The LatticeSC PCI Express x1 Evaluation Board is ready to power on. The board can be supplied with power from an AC wall-type transformer power supply shipped with the board or it can be supplied from a bench top supply via terminal screw connections.

When using FPGA control, 3.3V VCCIO must be used in bank 1. Refer to Bank1 VCCIO section of this document.
LatticeSC PCI Express x1 Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide SERDES Channels SMA Connections (see Appendix A, Figure 5) DC coupled top-mounted SMA connectors connect to the two SERDES TX and RX channels. These pins are directly coupled to the designated SMA connector creating a path for both input and output differential data.
LatticeSC PCI Express x1 Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide Test SMA Connections General-purpose FPGA pins are available via SMA test connections. These connections are designed to permit evaluations of several types of FPGA I/O buffers. The use of several termination schemes permits easy interfaces for the type of buffer.
