Aldec FMC-PCIe High-Bandwidth Serial Bus Card

Description

The FMC PCIe daughter card can be used as a PCIe root complex, providing two PCIe x4 interfaces or one PCIe x8 interface for endpoint cards equipped with a standard PCIe finger connector up to x16.

This card contains two PCIe connectors on the bottom. There are four PCIe lanes that are switched between two PCIe connectors using passive switches on the card. The 100MHz reference clocks for PCIe and FMC connectors are generated using LVDS oscillators on the FMC PCIe card. This card must be powered by an external 12V power supply with a 6-pin PCIe power connector.

Some of the board's use cases are High Performance Computing (HPC) applications where high speed and high bandwidth data transfer is required.
