1 Introduction
This module is used to allow an FMC mezzanine to be placed onto a Sundance SLB
site. SLB sites are available on a range of carrier cards and TIM modules.
The SLB interface consists of two 16-bit differential synchronous buses. These buses
can be split into two resulting in four 8-bit differential buses each with an
independent clock.
In addition to the differential interfaces the SLB defines LVTTL signals and power
rails.
Note that as all of the SLB signals are typically connected directly to an FPGA, then
the signalling scheme (voltage level, single-ended/differential, etc) can be altered to
suit the SLB mezzanine hardware design.
The FMC connector is the LPC (low pin count) type.
1.1 Power Supplies
Power to the FMC is taken directly from the SLB power connector. This supplies +/12V and +3.3V. Vadj for the FMC is provided via a linear regulator on the module.
The output voltage is fixed at +2.5V

1.2 JTAG
Two JTAG connectors are provided.
Header J2 is used to access the FPGA (if available) on the carrier card. This header
may be in parallel to any that is present on the carrier. Only use one in such
circumstances.
The pin-out of J2 is shown here:
J2 is located here:

The second JTAG connector, J3, is for access to the FMC mezzanine. Note that not
all mezzanines will include any devices that are accessible using JTAG.
The pin-out of J3 is shown here:

2 SATA
A SATA connector, J1, is provided that connects (via 100nF series capacitors) to the
FMC connector. The connectivity is shown here:

3 SLB / FMC Signals
The majority of the signals are shown in the tables below. These list the FMC-LPC
pin reference together with the SLB pin name and number.
