Barracuda ES.2 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
9.6.2 LED driver signals
Fault and Active LED signals are located in the FC-SCA connector (J1). See Table 25 for the output character-
istics of the LED drive signals.
9.6.3 FC Differential output
The serial output signal voltage characteristics are provided in Table 26. The outputs are not AC coupled in
order to deliver maximum signal without rise and fall time degradation. You must AC couple the receiver to iso-
late potentially different DC characteristics of the outputs and the receiver.
Figure 10 provides the data output valid eye diagram relative to the bit cell time.
