PCI Express x1 Cable Connectors
PCI Express x1 Cable Connectors (CON1 and CON2) are provided to demonstrate cable capabilities of the
SERDES channels. These cable connectors conform with the PCI Express Cable Specifications. A simple cable
loopback connected between the connectors can be used to evaluate this feature.
SERDES SMPTE Channels
(see Appendix A, Figure 10)
A single-channel 75-ohm SERDES channel is connected to BNC edge connectors. These connections are pro-
vided to connect to SMPTE video equipment. The channels include the appropriate passive components for
interoperability to SMPTE devices.

SERDES PCI Express Channels
(see Appendix A, Figure 10)
This board is equipped to communicate directly as an add-on card to a PCI Express host. It is designed with edge-
fingers (CN1) to fit directly into an x4 host receptacle. Power can be supplied directly from the PCI Express host via
the edge-finger connections.
FPGA Test Pins
General-purpose FPGA pins are available for user applications. FPGA pins are connected to switches and LEDS
designated according to the following table.
