The main purpose behind this board is to have a powerful development FPGA board specialized in high-resolution data acquisition and processing. It can be used for general purpose developement too, thanks to the generous I/Os and power voltages count available for stackable extension boards.

2x ADS1675
1x MAX5888

DDR3, NOR Flash, F/MRAM
Isolated USB to UART
~180+ user IOs

The HiRADDA set is composed of two or more boards :

  • HiRADDA Core
  • HiRADDA Power
  • n x user extension boards

HiRADDA is compatible with the FPGA Rack Backplane for interconnecting different boards with the help of the HVME16/32 version of the HES-SO Backplane Bus and the HES-SO VME IP Core. Additional specific hardware can be connected to HiRADDA as stackable mezzanine card.

HiRADDA embeds multiples memories for different usecases : DDR3 SDRAM for high speed sampling/processing, FLASH for non-volatile data (including softcores code) and Ferroelectric/Magnetoresistive RAM for non-volatile user parameters/logs.

Power supply considerations

The following power rails have to be produced on the HiRADDA Power board :

  • +C2.5V (AD9517-4)
  • +C3.3V (AD9517-4)
  • -A5.0V - Optional, for AOP input range extension
  • +A1.0V - Optional, for FPGA GTX I/Os.
  • +A1.2V - Optional, for FPGA GTX I/Os.
  • +A1.8V - Optional, for FPGA GTX I/Os.
  • +A3.3V (MAX5888)
  • +A5.0V (ADS1675)
  • +D1.0V (FPGA Core)
  • +D1.5V (DDR3 SDRAM Core)
  • +D1.8V - Optional, for user I/Os
  • +D2.5V (LVDS VCXO, user I/Os)
  • +D3.0V (ADS1675)
  • +D3.3V (multiple usage, incl. user I/Os)

The following power rails are produced locally on the core board :

  • +DR0.75V (DDR3 SDRAM Core)
  • +AR2.5V (ADC)
  • +AR3.0V (ADC)

VME connector considerations

  • No power rail are connected to the VME connector.
  • The I/O bank which interfaces the VME connector can be 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V depending on the jumper XXX position. Be careful with other FPGA Rack boards different voltage configuration.

Programming

The FPGA on this board can be programmed in 2 ways :

  • directly through JTAG interface.
  • automatically on boot via the onboard FLASH memory. This serial FLASH can be accessed in :
    • SPI SDR x1 : ~20s boot time
    • SPI SDR x4 : ~ 5s boot time
    • SPI DDR xn is not supported.

More explanation about FLASH programming is available here.

Changelog / Known issues

Validated functions on PCB version 1.00 :

  • [PASS] FPGA and JTAG
  • [PASS] FPGA boot via SPIx4 FLASH
  • [PASS] FPGA boot oscillator.
  • [PASS] AD9517-4 clock generator/distributor (include heavy configuration though SPI).
  • [PASS] MAX5555 DAC
  • [PASS] ADS1675 ADC CH0 and CH1 via AOP (uni+bipolar powering).
  • [PENDING] User FRAM (see issues) : Ready to be tested physically ASAP.
  • [PENDING] DDR3 (see issues) : Currently one step in calibration startup procedure fails.
  • [TODO] User FLASH. (Very low risk, low priority, when RISCV softcores are implemented)
  • [PENDING/TODO] User I/Os. (HVME & extension bank HP33 not tested yet (no real risk on them). Others sucessfully.)
  • [TODO] User GTXs. (Very low priority, for future PCI-Express 8x link)

Issues for PCB version 1.00 :

  • [Non critical] FPGA VCCBRAM is routed to +A1.0V instead of +D1.0V. Must be bridged to +D1.0V through the filter LC21.
  • [Non critical] Error in PCB layout for the F/M-RAM IC : can't be soldered. Please add one (or two) SPI version through I/O port J6. See patch A.
  • [Enhancement] Light overshoot on ADC 32MHz CMOS input clocks. Better to add a termination.
  • [Information] LVPECL DAC clock must be only pulldowned, then decoupled (no bridge/diff term at end).
  • [Critical] Errors around DDR3 power supplies (One wire was accidentally moved on schematics...). [Corrections on patch A]
    • +D1.5VF is not connected to +D1.5V (filter missing!). DDR3 is NOT powered - fortunately.
    • MAX1510ETB's VCC is connected to +D1.5VF instead of +D3.3V. Can't work.
    • MAX1510ETB's PGOOD (open-drain) pullup resistor is missing (so the tiny testpoint is useless).
    • MAX1510ETB's REFIN is accidentally bridged to +D1.5VF.
    • C127 is useless (must be connected to +D1.5VF).
  • [Non critical] FPGA Bank 34. T7 (MISCIO_SWITCH8) VRP pin must be pulled up with 100Ohms and U4 (MISCIO_SWITCH0) VRN pins pulled down with the same value. This is for DCI inputs (data lane). Therefore these SWITCH I/Os are no more usable (maybe cut concerned pins for avoid "on-demand" DDR3 crash ^^).
  • [Information] DDR3: Below 400MHz operations, FPGA internal reference is activable. At higher frequency, you will be frustrated with W4 (MISCIO_BUTTON0), AD3 (DDR3-TDQS_N) and even more with Xilinx MIG7 coregen util...
  • [Information] Phantom signals on bank 14 (K23 DAC1_PD and J23 DAC1_SEL0). To know for another revision.

Planned changes for PCB version 1.10 :

  • F/MRAM good IC layout.
  • Pulldown terms on DAC LVPECL clock at the end of the line (and simplification of front elements).
  • DDR3 regulator full review (patch A integration).
  • VRP/VRN resistors on DDR3 dedicated bank.
  • Add external VREF on DDR3 dedicated bank for a 2x datarate enhancement (bonus).
  • FPGA VCCBRAM to +D1.0V.
  • CMOS AC terminations on ADC clocks.
  • That's a powerful board... but less bright blue / RGB LEDs (max 0.5...1mA!) will be fine for eyes ;-)
  • Add reset manager for HiRADDA Core usage without HiRADDA Power board ?
