Communication Ports
J19
PCI Express edge connector
Gold-plated edge fingers connector for up to ×8 signaling in Gen1
mode.
J1
HSMC port
Provides eight transceiver channels and 84 CMOS or 17 LVDS
channels per the HSMC specification.
J11
Gigabit Ethernet port
RJ-45 connector which provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection
via a Marvell 88E1111 PHY and the FPGA-based Altera Triple Speed
Ethernet MegaCore function in RGMII mode.
Video and Display Ports
J18
Character LCD
Connector that interfaces to a provided 16 character × 2 line LCD
module along with two standoffs.
J5, J10
SDI video port
Two 75-
Ω
sub-miniature version B (SMB) connectors that provide a
full-duplex SDI interface through a LMH0303 cable driver and
LMH0384 cable equalizer.
Power Supply
J19
PCI Express edge connector
Interfaces to a PCI Express root port such as an appropriate PC
motherboard.
