Title: Query regarding the "4x5general_module_pinout_topview"
Post by: spr on January 01, 2017, 06:56:41 AM
Hello,

In "4x5general_module_pinout_topview.pdf" it is mentioned that the positions are listed as top view. However my question is, does the figure show the positions as viewed from the FPGA side (actual top side of module) or from the connector side (bottom side) ?

I know my query is a bit trivial, but just wanted to be sure before I proceed with the board design (as I am a newbie)..

Thanks for your help !

Regards,
SP

Hello,

it's from FPGA side(top side of the module). As if you look through the PCB. The "4x5general_carrier_pinout_topview.pdf" is also top view. So you can check this easier.
These connectors are hermaphroditic. Odd pin numbers on the module are connected to even pin numbers on the baseboard and vice versa.
