Spartan-3A/3AN FPGA Starter Kit Board User Guide

UG334 (v1.1) June 19, 2008

Chapter 15:

Expansion Connectors

R

Differential I/O Connectors

The Spartan-3A/3AN Starter Kit board includes stake pin headers with excellent signal 

integrity and matched impedance traces to demonstrate high-performance differential 

I/O. Each differential pair supports approximately 600 Mbits per second (Mbps) data 

rates. All I/O pairs support differential input termination (DIFF_TERM) as described in 

the Spartan-3A and Spartan-3AN data sheets. 
The board is primarily designed to support loopback operations using a standard 34-pin 

socket-to-socket cable.
The two differential I/O headers, shown in 

Figure 15-1, page 119

, consist of a 2x17 array of 

stake pins arrange on 0.1-inch centers. The headers are not keyed. Ground pins are 

interspersed with the signal pins for improved signal integrity over any attached cable. 

Power is also supplied, via the nominally 3.3V rail, labeled VCCO_012. The power 
connectors are for potential daughter cards that plug into the connector.
The J15 connector is primarily designed to transmit output data while the J2 connector is 

primarily designed to receive input data. However, both headers are equally good at 

transmitting differential data. The “Receive” header does have special provisions for 

capturing the receive clock input.
The pin assignment for the J2 “Receive” connector appears in 

Table 15-2

 and in 

Table 15-4

. 

The FPGA ball assignment is listed in parentheses.

The pin assignment for the J15 “Transmit” connector appears in 

Table 15-3

 and in 

Table 15-4

. The FPGA ball assignment is listed in parentheses.
