The $99 Artix UltraScale+ Explorer Board - learn more here One of the more ambitious decisions we made on the Adiuvo Explorer board was to bring out the Artix UltraScale+ GTH transceivers. As I have explained several times one of the motivations behind the explorer board is to demonstrate we can create an effective 0.5 mm pitch BGA PCB using only through hole vias. We have achieved this using an offset via tec

The $99 Artix UltraScale+ Explorer Board - learn more here Over the last few weeks, whenever I have had some spare time, I have been bringing up the Explorer board. So far, most of the board is up and running, and the signal integrity measurements appear to be aligning with our expectations. I will talk more about this later once we have completed our analysis. However, one of the things I have wanted to do fo
