SYZYGY Ports

Port Summary

The BRK1900 provides 7 SYZYGY ports. A summary of details of each port is listed in the table below.

Impedance and Length Matching

Single-ended fabric I/O is routed to the SYZYGY ports with 50Ω characteristic impedance. Differential fabric I/O is routed to the SYZYGY ports as 100Ω differential impedance. Fabric I/O routing length as been matched on the BRK8370 to each SYZYGY port as much as possible. Differential pair routing has been matched to at least 5 mils within pairs. This matching, and the length values in the SYZYGY Compatibility Table below, represent the traces from mezzanine connectors to the SYZYGY ports.

SYZYGY STD ports are routed with a mix of single-ended and differential connections as appropriate for the connected SYZYGY I/O, with the exception of PORT A. Because PORT A connects to an HD bank with very limited differential options, it is routed entirely as single-ended.

  1. The I/O on this port do not support differential standards because of limitations on HD banks.
  2. The C2P and P2C clock pins on these ports do not support differential standards because of limitations on HD banks.
  3. The port signal lengths are based on PCB revision BXX

Peripheral Mounting

SYZYGY peripherals can be mechanically connected together using the carrier and peripheral mounting holes. Below are some suggested mounting hardware options. The Standard Hardware mounting kit is available from the accessories section of our store.
