Description
The FMC SFP Adapter board is a passive adapter for accessing the multi-gigabit transceiver data pair of the FMC low-pin count (LPC) connector. The DP0_C2M and DP0_M2C data pairs are connected to the 20-pin SFP board connector inside the single-port SFP cage. The board supports data rates up to 4 Gb/s, and is ideally suited for 1000BASE-X applications (Gigabit Ethernet transmission over fiber). An on-board oscillators provides a reference clock of 125.000 MHz to the GBTCLK signal pair (clock signal for multi-gigabit transceiver data pair). All electrical signals of the SFP transceiver are accessible via the FMC-LPC connector or test points on the PCB. No configuration of the card is necessary for easy startup.
