ADC12DJ3200EVM: need to purchase another FMC+ adapter from ADC12DJ3200EVM kit

ADC12DJ3200EVM: Purchase the FMC+ to FMC adapter

Part Number: ADC12DJ3200EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADC12DJ3200, TIDA-01024

Hi,

I am Tong Duan, from the University of Alberta. We want to connect two Xilinx VCU128 FPGA boards together using the FMC+ connectors. But now we only have a FMC-to-FMC cable. So if we can buy two FMC+ to FMC adapters (the attached product schematic is found on your website), then we can connect the two boards together.

We find in the ADC12DJ3200 product box, the FMC+ to FMC adapter is included. So, can you please tell us how to buy the FMC+ to FMC adapter separately? My email address is: tduan@ualberta.ca. If you need other contact information, please also tell me.

Looking forward to you reply, thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Tong Duan

    First check out the design material related to the schematic for the FMC+/FMC adapter located within TIDA-01024 product page: https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-01024.

    Verify that the connections are what you need/want.  If you are trying to connect two FPGAs together, this adapter may not work if some of the lines need to cross-over, like TX output serdes to RX input serdes.  Also, the sex of the adapters may not fit for what you need.

    Hi, RJH,

    Thanks for this information. Maybe this adapter can be used to connect the DAC board. Could you please tell us the price of this adapter TIDA-01024?

    Sincerely,

    Tong Duan

    If you are referring to connecting a TI DAC board that has a "regular" FMC connector to a Xilinx FPGA with an FMC+ connector, then there is no need for an adapter.  The FMC "male" connector of the DAC will fit inside an FMC+ "female" connector.

    FYI...the adapters discussed in this thread are not independently for sale.  The one in TIDA-01024 is not available. The FMC+ to FMC Adapter is only provided through the ADC12DJ3200 EVM.  I don't think either of those will do what you want though.  If you ware trying to connect two FPGAs together, you need a cable or board that has two FMC "male" connectors as well as any crossovers for having one communicate to the other.
