38. Rotary Encoder
The board provides connectivity to a rotary encoder (Panasonic EVQWK4001) with 15 
detents, pushbutton, and two phase output signals for direction of rotation interpretation. 
One complete revolution of the rotary wheel produces 15 pulses that are output on nets 
FPGA_ROTARY_INCA and FPGA_ROTARY_INCB. Pushing the rotary wheel laterally 
causes a momentary switch closure on the FPGA_ROTARY_PUSH output. The rotary 
encoder circuit is wired so that all switch closures result in an active-High output. 
Table 1-23 shows the connections for the rotary encoder. 
39. Differential GTP/GTX Input and Output with SMA Connectors
Four SMA connectors (Rosenberger 32K153-400E3) provide a convenient and easily 
accessible method of interfacing to GTP/GTX transceivers s for general-purpose 
connectivity. The SMAs are designed and laid out to provide high-quality GTP/GTX 
connections for speeds up to 3.125 Gb/s. Although the ML50x provides access to the 
GTP/GTX transceivers, the board is not intended for transceiver characterization.
The transmit pair is connected directly from the FPGA to the SMA connectors while the 
receive pair is connected to the FPGA via series AC coupling capacitors. If a DC-coupled 
receive-side connection is desired, these capacitors can be replaced with 0Ω 0402-size 
resistors. Table 1-24 shows the GTP transceiver pairs available through the SMA 
connectors.
