However it remains the user's responsibility to verify proper and reliable operation of Lattice products in their end application by consulting documentation provided by Lattice. Differences in component selection and/or PCB layout in the user's application may significantly affect circuit performance and reliability. Figure 2.

Applying Power to the Board The LatticeECP2M SERDES 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.
Programming Daisy Chain This board includes two Lattice Semiconductor programmable devices that can be programmed in a daisy chain. A jumper setting of J105 controls the chain. Both devices are in the programming chain from the JTAG header J8 with jumpers on J105 across pins {1-2}, pins{3-4} and pins{5-6}.

LatticeECP2M SERDES Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide Table 5. SMA Clock Input Signal U2 Reference + Input U2 Reference - Input U2 is an ispClock5620A clock generator that allows designers to implement clock distribution networks supporting multiple, synchronized output frequencies using a single device. By integrating a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) along with multiple output dividers, the ispClock5620A can derive up to five separate output frequencies from a single ®...

LatticeECP2M SERDES Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide SERDES (see Appendix A, Figure 5) SERDES Reference Clock The 50-ohm terminated SMA connectors provide supply reference clocks directly to the LatticeECP2M device from the ispClock management device. This device drives clocks to both SERDES quads via 100-ohm LVDS signaling.
LatticeECP2M SERDES Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide SERDES SATA Channels (see Appendix A, Figure 5) Connections are included to attach SATA type cables to SERDES channels for board-to-board or loopback pur- poses. The connectors are configured using the 7-pin SATA specifications. Note: this interface is only available on boards featuring a LatticeECP2M-50 or larger FPGA.
LatticeECP2M SERDES Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide Figure 4. 17-Segment LED Display Segment K M N 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.
DDR2 Memory (see Appendix A, Figure 10) The LatticeECP2M SERDES Evaluation Board is equipped with an 84-ball BGA DDR2 SDRAM memory device such as the Micron MT47H16M16BG-3 device. The DDR2 memory interface includes a 16-bit wide device. The evaluation board includes termination of address and command signals. It includes all power and external compo-...
