○Giga ETH
The 88E1512 chip supports 10/100/1000M network transfer rates and communicates with the MAC layer of the Zynq7000 PS system via the RGMII interface. It features MDI/MDX crossover, auto-negotiation for multiple speeds, and master/slave configuration. Additionally, it supports the MDIO bus for PHY register management and provides advanced energy efficiency with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE). The 88E1512 is optimized for low power consumption and offers robust performance for high-speed network applications.
○USB Host
The USB2.0 transceiver on-board is the USB3320C-EZK, which supports the ULPI standard interface. It’s connected with ZYNQ’s bus interface to enable high-speed USB2.0 Host mode data communications.
○eMMC
The module includes an 8GB eMMC interface (PS_SDIO1) for system files or data storage. It can also serve as a secondary boot device alongside the QSPI flash. The interface is PS BANK501 MIO[46-51].

○Power
The XME0720 supports a wide range of power input (5V~15V), with a recommended design power input of +12V.
The module powers up in a cascading sequence: 1.0V- > 1.8V -> 1.5V- > 3.3V. The 3.3V output will be powered up last, and at the same time, it will provide the PG signal of system power status.
○LED
The XME0720 board includes four LEDs: a power indicator, an FPGA configuration status light, a PL-controlled user LED, and a PS-controlled user LED.
The LED signals are described in the following table.
