The main purpose behind this board is to have a powerful development FPGA board specialized in data acquisition and processing, like the FPGA Rack AD/DA V1 but at high frequency. Actually, this card is under development (part of the gal's master thesis).

Type FPGA Rack Schematic UCF Description
V1.0 FPGA Rack Hi-Speed AD/DA V1.0 N/A N/A Kintex7 XC7K160T-2FFG676

The HiSADDA set is composed of two board : HiSADDA Core and HiSADDA Power.

HiSADDA is compatible with the FPGA Rack Backplane for interconnecting different boards with the help of the HVME16 version of the HES-SO Backplane Bus and the HES-SO VME IP Core.

Fully assembled HiSADDA V1.00

Power supply considerations

HiSADDA Power V1.00

The HiSADDA Core board has no DC/DC nor LDO chip and is only powered with a dedicated power supply card (for PCB placment constraints and thermal considerations). External power supplies needed : +12V Digital (6..20V tolerant), +/-5V Analog. It must be plugged with the HiSADDA Power board.

Please note that this board can't be powered though the DIN41612 connector (power pins intentionnaly left unrouted).

The absolute maximum power consumption of the board itself is calculated around 22.5W. At this power, thermal losses in the power supply card is predicted around 18W. Estimated total consumption for normal use is planned around 10-40W - heavily depending on used functionnalities. Active dissipation can be needed (mandatory in a rack - the FPGA fan starts when plugged in a backplane).

VME connector logic levels

The I/O bank which interfaces the VME connector is only 3.3V. Be careful with other FPGA Rack boards with 2.5V/3.3V jumper.

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 (SPI x1/x4).

More explanation for FLASH programmation will come when available...
