SGMII GTX Transceiver Clock Generation

[Figure
An Integrated Circuit Systems ICS844021I chip (U2) generates a high-quality, low-jitter,
125 MHz LVDS clock from a 25 MHz crystal (X3). This clock is sent to FPGA U1, Bank 113
GTX transceiver (clock pins AH8 (P) and AH7 (N)) driving the SGMII interface. Series AC
coupling capacitors are present to allow the clock input of the FPGA to set the common
mode voltage.

USB-to-UART Bridge

[Figure
The VC707 board contains a Silicon Labs CP2103GM USB-to-UART bridge device (U44)
which allows a connection to a host computer with a USB port. The USB cable is supplied
in the VC707 Evaluation Kit (Type-A end to host computer, Type mini-B end to VC707
board connector J17). The CP2103GM is powered by the USB 5V provided by the host PC
when the USB cable is plugged into the USB port on the VC707 board.
Xilinx UART IP is expected to be implemented in the FPGA logic. The FPGA supports the
USB-to-UART bridge using four signal pins: Transmit (TX), Receive (RX), Request to Send
(RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).
Silicon Labs provides royalty-free Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers for the host computer.
These drivers permit the CP2103GM USB-to-UART bridge to appear as a COM port to
communications application software (for example, TeraTerm) that runs on the host
