CN4 & CN9: Digital I/O Connector 
Connectors CN4 and CN9 each provide 24 digital I/O lines, along with a +5V pin and ground pins. All I/O have pull up/pull down resistors that 
are controlled by jumper options, also shown in the table. These signals are 5V tolerant. The signal names reflect the signal names I n the 
Xilinx UCF file with the device pin out. 
CN4 and CN9 are attached to Bank 2 and 0 respectively, and support any of the Spartan 6 I/O Standards that use a 3.3V V
CCO
 and no 
reference voltage. This includes LVTTL, LVCMOS33, and LVDS_33 input and output.

3.3.2  BUS CONNECTORS 
CN1 (Top) & CN2 (Bottom): PCIe Connector 
The PCIe connector is the connection to the system CPU. The position and pin assignments are compliant with the PCI/104-Express 
Specification. (See PC/104 Specifications on page 29) 
The FPGA35S6 is a “Universal” board, and can connect to either a Type 1 or Type 2 PCIe/104 connector. 
3.3.3  JUMPERS 
JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, & JP6: Pull up/Pull down Jumper 
JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, and JP6 are 3-pin two position jumpers that are used to set pull up or pull downs options on the I/O signal lines of 
CN4 and C5. Refer to Table 6 and Table 7 to determine which I/O pins are effected by each jumper. 
Table 8: Pull up/Pull down Jumper options 
Setting 
Description 
1-2 
I/O is pulled up to 3.3V or 5V (Set by B1 and B2) 
2-3 
I/O is pulled down to GND 
No Jumper 
I/O has no pull up/pull down
