Expansion Connectors

The MicroBlaze Development Kit board provides a variety of expansion connectors for

easy interface flexibility to other off-board components. The board includes the following

I/O expansion headers (see Figure15-1):

xA Hirose 100-pin edge connector with 43 associated FPGA user-I/O pins, including

up to 15 differential LVDS I/O pairs and two Input-only pairs

xThree 6-pin Peripheral Module connections

xLanding pads for an Agilent or Tektronix connectorless probe

Hirose 100-pin FX2 Edge Connector (J3)

A 100-pin edge connector is located along the right edge of the board (see Figure 15-1). This

connector is a Hirose FX2-100P-1.27DS header with 1.27 mm pitch. Throughout the

documentation, this connector is called the FX2 connector.

As shown in Figure 15-2, 43 FPGA I/O pins interface to the FX2 connector. All but five of

these pins are true, bidirectional I/O pins capable of driving or receiving signals. Five pins,

FX2_IP<38:35> and FX2_IP<40> are Input-only pins on the FPGA. These pins are

highlighted in light green in Table15-1 and cannot drive the FX2 connector but can receive

signals.
