FMC116
Octal zSFP+/SFP28 (protocol agnostic) FMC Module
Description:
FMC116 is a FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) compatible with VITA 57.1 FMC carriers. It has eight zSFP+/SFP28 cages which allow for octal optics to be routed to DP0+/- to DP7+/- pins.
FMC116 is protocol-agnostic and has a low jitter fractional PLL which can lock to CLK2 and CLK3 coming from the Carrier or be free running. The fractional PLL can generate two separate clocks to the two GBT clock pins and can provide two more additional clocks on CLK0 and CLK1 for the carrier.
The module has on board Multi-Rate Re-Timer with Integrated Signal conditioning, tuneable per lane. All channels lock independently from 20.2Gbps to 28.4 Gbps (including sub-rates such as 10.1376, 10.3125, 12.5, etc.). The module cannot run slower than 5.05Gbps. Adaptive Continuous Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE) with Adaptive Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE).
The unit does not follow VITA 57 mechanical height specifications. A custom monolithic panel is required to allow for the extended height opening of the zSFP+/SFP28 cages for integration with the carrier.
Note: We can supply a custom front panel to fit any of our FMC carriers: VPX module (10 HP panel) or AMC module (8 HP panel).
Key Features:
- Eight zSFP+/SFP28 cages
- Onboard Fractional PLL to generate any clock
- Protocol agnostic (i.e. 5GbE, 10Gb, 28G, Aurora, etc.)
