Title: FMC to Vmod / VHDC / VHDCI adapter
Post by: Hengist on November 11, 2013, 10:51:13 AM
Q: Is there any Digilent adapter connector to connect Digilent Vmod to FMC host boards?

No, Digilent does not offer any standard adapter connector to connect Digilent Vmod modules to FMC host/carrier boards.

One idea could be the self construction proposed in the Xilinx forum
VHDCI to FMC-LPC converter ... (http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/General-Technical-Discussion/VHDCI-to-FMC-LPC-converter-AD9739A-FMC-Card-Atlys-Spartan-6/m-p/234978)

Another (probably overkill) idea is to consider the Tews TFMC900 (http://www.tews.com/Products/ArticleGroup/TFMC/TFMC900.html). Double check connector genders and connector pin-outs.

The last idea is to find a suitable FMC module with a function similar to the Vmod / VHDC / VHDCI module to connect to the FMC host board.
