The VCU128 board provides a pair of SMAs for differential user clock input into FPGA U1 GTY bank 131. The P-side SMA J24 signal SMA_REFCLK_INPUT_P is connected to FPGA U1 GTY bank 131 MGTREFCLK1P pin AA40, with the N-side SMA J26 signal SMA_REFCLK_INPUT_N connected to U1 GTY bank 131 MGTREFCLK1N pin AA41. The transceiver reference clock pin absolute input voltage range is –0.5V min. to 1.3V max. The user SMA MGT clock circuit is shown in the following figure.
