The following table summarizes the DC specifications of the GTH transceivers in Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs. Consult the UltraScale Architecture GTH Transceivers User Guide (UG576) for further details.

Table 1. GTH Transceiver DC Specifications
Symbol DC Parameter Conditions Min Typ Max Units
DVPPIN Differential peak-to-peak input voltage (external AC coupled) >10.3125 Gb/s 150 – 1250 mV

VIN Single-ended input voltage. Voltage measured at the pin referenced to GND DC coupled VMGTAVTT = 1.2V –400 – VMGTAVTT mV
VCMIN Common mode input voltage DC coupled VMGTAVTT = 1.2V – 2/3 VMGTAVTT – mV
DVPPOUT Differential peak-to-peak output voltage 1 Transmitter output swing is set to 11111 800 – – mV
VCMOUTDC Common mode output voltage: DC coupled (equation based) When remote RX is terminated to GND VMGTAVTT/2 – DVPPOUT/4 mV
When remote RX termination is floating VMGTAVTT – DVPPOUT/2 mV
When remote RX is terminated to VRX_TERM 2 mV
VCMOUTAC Common mode output voltage: AC coupled (equation based) VMGTAVTT – DVPPOUT/2 mV
RIN Differential input resistance – 100 – Ω
ROUT Differential output resistance – 100 – Ω
TOSKEW Transmitter output pair (TXP and TXN) intra-pair skew (all packages) – – 10 ps
CEXT Recommended external AC coupling capacitor 3 – 100 – nF
  1. The output swing and pre-emphasis levels are programmable using the attributes discussed in the UltraScale Architecture GTH Transceivers User Guide (UG576), and can result in values lower than reported in this table.
  2. VRX_TERM is the remote RX termination voltage.
  3. Other values can be used as appropriate to conform to specific protocols and standards.
