A short description of the FPGA-EBS board is found on the ISI Project Page.

Board families

There are several versions of FPGA EBS Boards. The stock can be verified and updated on-line.

Type FPGA-EBS Full board FPGA-EBS Student board FPGA-EBS Mezzanine Schematic UCF Description
V2.1 FPGA EBS V2.1 boards 30-35 FPGA EBS Student Version V2.1 boards 11-13 FPGA EBS Mezza V2.1 boards 40-41 FPGA-EBS v2.1 Schematic PDF XC3S1200e
XC3S500e
Improved second version of FPGA-EBS comes with a Xilinx XC3S500e or a XC3S1200E. Note that there is a different UCF Pin constraining file depending on the FPGA type. Furthermore there is a xcf04s Xilinx Platform Flash for persistent configuration.
V2.0 FPGA EBS V2.0 boards 21-28 FPGA EBS Student Version V2.0 boards 1-8 Not existing FPGA-EBS v2.0 Schematic PDF XC3S500e Second FPGA-EBS Version comes only with Xilinx XC3S500E
V1.0 FPGA EBS V1.0 FPGA EBS Student Version V1.0 FPGA EBS Mezza Version V1.0 FPGA-EBS v1.0 Schematic PDF Not available First FPGA-EBS Version comes with a Xilinx XC2S150 or XC2S250 FPGA.
Please note that for Spartan 2 is no longer supported by Xilinx, an ISE Version <= 9.2i has to be used

A VHDL test code with the default UCF Files can be found at the EDA SVN Reopsitory

Power Budget

The TPS750003 Power Management IC provides up to 3A. The whole EBS board consumes 0.17A without any design loaded into the FPGA.

UCF Pin Differences

On the FPGA-EBS v2.X Boards, you can find two different FPGA Spartan3 Chips.

There are 3 Pin differences between Boards with XC3S500E and XC3S1200E.

Changes between FPGA-EBS V2.0 and V2.1

There are some other changes made in the Ethernet part of those boards. Several bugs were changes and corrected.

  • TCT and RCT Pins of the Ethernetconnector were strapped to 3.3V, and decoupled with Capacitors (C59 & C104)
  • Serial Capacitors on the RX+ and RX- lines were replaced by 0Ohm Resistors (R61 & R63)
  • Proper Reset circuit for the Ethernetphy is put on place (D13, D14, R62 & C108)

Configuration

This board can be configured in 2 ways:

  • directly
  • via the onboard Flash memory

Stock

The stock comprises:

  • V 2.1 boards: 6 full mounted, 3 minimal
  • V 2.0: 6 full, 7 minimal
