  • Page 3: Chapter 1 Introduction

    FPGA transceiver signals can be easily connected to measurement instruments as well as allowing gigabit data rate communication between multiple FPGA boards. The XTS-FMC daughter card is the ideal platform to allow users to prototype and test their high-speed interfaces quickly and easily in support of transceiver performance for jitter, protocol compliance, and equalization.

  • Page 15: Chapter 4 Demonstrations

    The transceiver test code is available in the folder System CD\Demonstrations\TR5\demo_batch. Here are the procedures to perform transceiver channel test: Use the SMA cables to connect the TX ports and the RX ports on the XTS-FMC card to implement the loopback function (See Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2).
  • Page 16 Connect the XTS-FMC card to the FMC D or FMC A connector of the TR5 board. Make sure the FMC connector between the two boards is locked with copper posts and screws (See section 1.3). Figure 4-2 The Connections between the XTS-FMC card and TR5 board Connect your TR5 board to your PC with a mini USB cable.
