Spartan6 XC6SLX45

The boards are compatible with the FPGA Rack Backplane for interconnecting different boards with the help of the HEI Backplane Bus and the HES-SO VME IP Core.

Features

  • 2x A/D 24bits 2.5MSPS (Analog Devices AD7760)
  • 2x A/D 16bits 10MSPS (Analog Devices AD7626)
  • 1x D/A 16bits with 4MHz bandwidth - Two Channels (Analog Devices AD5547)
  • 1x Xilinx Spartan6 LX45
  • 1-2x Xilinx Platform Flash (min. 16MBit required)
  • 1x JTAG Connector
  • 1x UART (DIL Connector)
  • 1x Trigger input
  • 1x VME Compatible Connector 3x32 pins
  • 6x LEDs
  • 8x DIL Switches
  • 1x 100MHz Quartz for main clock
  • Powered by VME Connector or a specific power connector

VME connector logic levels

The I/O bank which interfaces the VME connector can be powered with 3.3V or with 2.5V. A zero-Ohm resistor has to be soldered at the proper place near the FPGA.

Programmation

This board can be programmed in 2 ways,

  • First the FPGA can be directly programmed.
  • Second the FPGA can be programmed via the onboard Flash memory.

Known issues

The following points need to be corrected for a newer version of the board :

  • Digital I/O of AD7xxx are compatible 2.5V (and not 3.3V). Banks reorganisation needed.
  • If bank #1 is 2.5V for avoid destroying the AD7760, the UART chip can't be used (Voltage Input Threshold of 2.4V...).
  • Better routage of the 250MHz LVDS lines (shielding and distance).
  • Better placement of the SMA connectors with possibility to add a front bracket.
  • Modify Xilinx FLASH core voltage to 1.8V.
  • Add a 1.8V power supply for Xilinx FLASH.
  • ...or replace theses 50$ FLASH with a small standard 2$ FLASH.
  • Move the FPGA core power supply (1.2V) from the LDO to a DC/DC power supply.
  • Distance the RS232 DIL connector from the JTAG connector.
  • Use a bigger / with better speed grade FPGA ?
