This board is a variant of the FPGA rack board, but with 4 Ethernet connectors.

Type FPGA Rack Schematic UCF Description
V1.0 FPGA Rack Ethernet4 V1.0 FPGA-Rack-Ethernet4 v1.0 Schematic PDF FPGA-Rack v1.0 UCF Files There are different FPGA mounted: Spartan 6 XC6SLX45, Spartan 6 XC6SLX100, Spartan 6 XC6SLX150

The board is compatible with the FPGA Rack Backplane for interconnecting different boards with the help of the HES-SO Backplane Bus and the HES-SO VME IP Core.

PHY clocks

All 4 PHYs receive the same 25 MHz clock. This clock signal can be sourced from:

  • the quartz oscillator closest to the PHYs (CLK_PHY_25M)
  • the FPGA (CLK_PHY_FPGA, pin AB13).

The FPGA can generate the PHY clock from

  • a 106.25 MHz quartz (CLK_106_25M, pin Y13)
  • the PHY quartz oscillator (CLK_PHY_25M, pin AA12)
  • one of the PHY Rx or Tx clocks (ETHA_RX_CLK, ETHA_TX_CLK, ETHB_RX_CLK, …)

The last possibility is foreseen to synchronise the clocks of slave Ethernet ports to the one of a master port.

Management Data Input Output (MDIO)

The serial Management Data Input Output (MDIO) interface is connected independently from each PHY to the FPGA.
