ECP5 Versa Development Board
On-Board Clock Capabilities
(See Appendix A, Sheet 9, Figure 18 - Reference Clock Generator)
The ECP5 Versa Development Board allows for several clock source options. Some of these options are controlled
via
the ispClock5406D programmable clock manager device. The ispClock5406D enables the reference clock from
the PCI Express interface to provide a reference clock to the SERDES. This is true only when the board is in a PCI
Express host socket. When the board is not in a PCI Express host socket, the clock will be supplied by a 156.25
MHz clock on-board oscillator. Both clock inputs can be fanned out to the dedicated SERDES reference inputs,
FPGA inputs, and to the expansion connectors. The factory default programming only connects the SERDES refer-
ence clock inputs. Factory-defined demonstration
designs will control and manage the clock.
