FMC SFP Card

This project is designed to allow using sfp cables with the LVDS pins of an FPGA as opposed to the GTX pins. It provides testpoints to monitor the lvds signals with an oscilliscope.

Questions

How big is the Fmc sfp PCB?

It measures 89.5 × 70 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fmc sfp use?

60 parts, built around the MAX9113EKA+T, TXS0108EPW, ASP-134604-01 and DSHP04TSGET. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Fmc sfp KiCad files?

From the MicroRidge-Technology/SFP-FMC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is fmc-sfp.kicad_pcb and its schematic SFP.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fmc sfp design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MicroRidge-Technology before reusing the design.
