Xilinx Virtex-5 LXT ML523 Characterization RocketIO GTP board

The ML523 (populated with XC5VLX110T-1FF1136) allows designers to investigate and experiment with the features of the Virtex-5 Rocket I/O Gigabit Transceivers. The ML523 is an official and ideal platform for full and detailed characterization of the high speed IO channels of Virtex-5 LXT devices and meets the highest signal integrity standards.

Each RocketIO Transceiver is connected to 4 SMA connectors (TxN, TxP, RxN, and RxP).
