This documentation covers the most important things to know while testing the digital control board, including component pinouts, nets, and other information.

Power Requirements

Required Voltages

All components on the digital board except the DAC can be tested using only a +5V source. The DAC requires +5V, -5V, and a high voltage corresponding to 10V higher than the maximum desired DAC output voltage. Digital and analog grounds must be connected as well before any testing takes place.

Power Pins

Power shall be connected to the board as follows:

Voltage Eurocard Pin
DGND A6
AGND A5
+5V A4
-5V A3
High voltage
(DAC max out +10,
not to exceed +210V)
A2

Power Supply Sequencing

The control board is designed such that voltages may be supplied in any order so long as AGND and DGND are connected properly. However, for initial testing, the preferred order for powering up the board is as follows:

  1. Ensure AGND/DGND are connected/grounded
  2. +5V
  3. -5V
  4. High voltage

FPGA

The control board uses a Xilinx XC3S50A VQ100 FPGA. It has a 100 pin footprint and is located in the center of the control board.

Power Details

The FPGA is powered by the 3.3V power plane, which is regulated by VR1. The FPGA also obtains 1.2V for its internal logic from a 1.2V power island, regulated by VR3.

Logic Standard

The Xilinx XC3S50A supports several different digital logic standards. The control board is hard wired such that the FPGA will use a 3.3V CMOS logic standard.

EEPROM

To facilitate power-on configuration of the FPGA, the control board includes a Xilinx XCF01S EEPROM. The EEPROM is located to the left of the FPGA, above the JTAG header, and has a 20 pin footprint. The EEPROM is labelled U5.

Power Details

The EEPROM uses +3.3V exclusively, which it receives from the +3.3V power plane, regulated by VR1.

Flashing/Burning/Writing

Whatever you call it, this refers to storing data in the EEPROM so that it can configure the FPGA at power-on. The EEPROM is programmed using a JTAG interface and the Xilinx Platform USB II cable. It is important to note that in digital board's JTAG chain, the EEPROM is the first device in the chain, unlike in the Xilinx documentation where it is shown as the second device. This should not affect the operation of the board, but should be reflected in the Xilinx software when writing the EEPROM via JTAG.

FPGA Configuration

The EEPROM and FPGA are hardwired to use a master serial protocol to transfer the program from the EEPROM to the FPGA. This is the protocol recommended in the Xilinx documentation because it minimizes the number of traces necessary to run between the EEPROM and FPGA. All configuration data is sent over a single trace, FPGA/DIN (pin 1 on EEPROM), controlled by the configuration clock signal (FPGA/CCLK) which is automatically generated by the FPGA at power-on. When configuration is complete, FPGA/DONE (pin 10) is pulled high by the FPGA, and the EEPROM and configuration clock are deactivated.
