AC701 Evaluation Board www.xilinx.com 7UG952 (v1.4) August 6, 2019Chapter 1AC701 Evaluation Board FeaturesOverviewThe AC701 evaluation board for the Artix®-7 FPGA provides a hardware environment fordeveloping and evaluating designs targeting the Artix-7 XC7A200T-2FBG676C FPGA. The AC701board provides features common to many embedded processing systems, including a DDR3SODIMM memory, an 4-lane PCI Express® interface, a tri-mode Ethernet PHY, general purpose I/O, and a UART interface. Other features can be added by using an FPGA mezzanine card (FMC)attached to the VITA-57 FPGA mezzanine connector provided on the board. A high pin count(HPC) FMC connector is provided. See AC701 Board Features for a complete list of features. Thedetails for each feature are described in Feature Descriptions.Additional InformationSee Appendix G, Additional Resources for references to documents, files and resources relevant tothe AC701 board.AC701 Board Features• Artix-7 XC7A200T-2FBG676C FPGA• 1 GB DDR3 memory SODIMM• 256 Mb quad serial peripheral interface (quad SPI) flash memory• Secure Digital (SD) connector• USB JTAG through Digilent module• Clock generation• Fixed 200 MHz LVDS oscillator• I2C programmable LVDS oscillator• SMA connectors• SMA connectors for GTP transceiver clocking• GTP transceivers• FMC HPC connector (two GTP transceivers)• SMA connectors (one pair each for TX, RX and REFCLK)• PCI Express (four lanes)• Small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) connector• Ethernet PHY RGMII interface (RJ-45 connector)• PCI Express endpoint connectivity• Gen1 4-lane (x4)Send Feedback
