2.3.2 Connecting an Apps FPGA Board to the DLPLCRC964EVM

This section explains how to assemble the Apps FPGA front end to the DLPLCRC964EVM and DLPLCR99EVM / DLPLCR99UVEVM.

If desired, customers can connect a front-end board (AMD EVM) to the DLPLCRC964EVM board to send fast test patterns to the DLPC964 Controller.

Locate the AMD EVM female HPC FMC connectors and the DLPLCRC964EVM HPC FMC connectors (J1 and J2). Please line up both HPC FMC connectors and verify that the connectors are lined up correctly before applying pressure to connect the boards together as shown in Figure 2-4.

Note: After initially applying pressure to connect both boards, apply pressure at one end and then the other to ensure the connectors are fully connected together.

The 300mm Samtec HPC FMC ribbon cables (HDR-169468-01) are an alternative for these connections. Two cables are needed.

  • Attach the HPC FMC female connector end of the cables to the male HPC FMC connectors on the DLPLCRC964EVM board.
  • Attach the HPC FMC male connector end of the cables to the female HPC FMC connectors on the Apps FPGA board.
