Komodo Fiber Reference Guide
18
The “diff_en” signal coming from the FPGA, enables (when set to logic 1) data transfer from pins 1
- 4 on the GPIO header, to pins AH26 and AK28 on the FPGA. This signal also enables data
transfer from pins AK27 and AM26 on the FPGA to pins 5 – 8 on the GPIO header.

General purpose LEDs
On the Komodo Fiber there are four user-define LEDs, all are green light and active low.

PCI Express (Gen 3.0)
The Komodo Fiber is designed to fit entirely into a PC motherboard with a ×8 PCI Express slot that
can accommodate a full height long form factor add-in card.
The PCI Express edge connector has a connection speed of 2.5 Gbps/lane for a maximum of 20
Gbps full-duplex (Gen1) or 5.0 Gbps/lane for a maximum of 40 Gbps full-duplex (Gen2) or 8.0
Gbps/lane for a maximum of 64 Gbps full-duplex (Gen3).
The power for the board can be sourced entirely from the PCI Express edge connector when
installed into a PC motherboard.
The PCIe reference clock is a 100 MHz differential input that is driven from the PC motherboard on
to this board through the edge connector. This clock is connected directly to an Arria V GZ refclk
input pin pair using DC coupling. This clock is terminated on the motherboard and therefore, no on-
board termination is required.
JTAG signals (TCK, TDI, TDO and TMS) of the PCIe connector are not connected to the FPGA.
