Description

Solar Express 200 (SE200) is an x8 Gen3 PCIe carrier board with two SoM-PF m(System on Module) sites. The 2 SoMs that can be supported on this carrier are SoM-PF1 and PF2 which are based on MPF500-1FCG1152 and MPF300T-1FCG784E respectively. Site 1 is typically designed for SoM-PF1 but if SoM-PF2 is plugged into that position then only PCIe, Firefly, SFP+, and 4 lanes of high-speed serial links for the FMC interface will be available. The board is designed for development purposes and plugs into a PC’s PCIe slot and is powered by a PCIe interface. An FMC slot, SFP+ module, x2 Samtec FireFly, USB, and other peripherals are available on the carrier card.

SoM-PF modules designed for this carrier can also be used on Trenz carriers like TEBT0808-01, but with reduced functionality.

Features

  • PM8531B-F3EI, 4 port PCIe Gen3 switch from Microsemi
  • Two SoM-PF modules sites for modules with MPF500(SoM-PF1) and MPF300 FPGA (SoM-PF2)
  • FMC HPC Vita 57.1 connector for functional extension;
  • SATA Gen 3 HOST interface with connector;
  • SFP+ connector for 10Gb/1Gb optical modules;
  • RJ45 connector for 100/1000Mbit Ethernet connection;
  • USB 2.0 Host port for various peripheral connections;
  • USB 2.0 Device for onboard JTAG and UART debug purposes – connector micro USB
  • 2 FireFly connectors for high-speed communications;
  • On-board power for FMC and SoM-PF modules, No need for External power;
  • Temperature range 0°C to +65°C;
  • The approximate power consumption of a board is TBD
