USB-FPGA Module 1.15

Description

The ZTEX USB-FPGA-Module 1.15 is a Spartan 6 FPGA LX45 to LX150 board with USB 2.0 interface, 128 MB DDR2-SDRAM and Flash memory.

Features

• High-Speed (480 MBit/s) USB interface via Mini-USB connector (B-type)
• Cypress CY7C68013A EZ-USB FX2 Microcontroller
• Four Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA variants: LX45 (XC6SLX45), LX75 (XC6SLX75), LX100 (XC6SLX100) and LX150 (XC6SLX150) FPGA
• 99 General Purpose I/O's (GPIO):
  • 91 FPGA GPIO's
  • 8 EZ-USB FX2 GPIO's
• 15 special I/O's (SIO):
  • 4 pins for FPGA configuration via JTAG
  • 2 pins for 1 serial ports
  • 2 pins I²C interface (2 pins)
  • 2 interrupt pins
  • 3 timers
  • 1 Wakeup pin
  • 1 Breakpoint pin
• 128 MByte DDR2 SDRAM:
  • Up to 400 MHz clock frequency
  • 16 Bit bus width
  • Up to 1600 MByte/s data rate
  • Easy to use hard memory controller included Spartan 6 FPGA with 6 ports. (see SDK for examples)
• MicroSD socket for extensible Flash memory (standard and high capacity (SDHC) cards, SPI mode support required)
  • Bitstream loading from Flash to FPGA supported by the Firmware
  • Accessible from EZ-USB FX2, from FPGA and from Host software using the SDK
• Fast FPGA configuration using CPLD:
  • Up to 24 MByte/s via USB
  • Up to 2.5 MByte/s from microSD Flash (depends on the speed of the card)
• Memory mapped IO between EZ-USB FX2 and FPGA
• 128 Kbit EEPROM memory (can be used to store the EZ-USB firmware)
• 2 Kbit MAC-EEPROM: contains a unique non erasable MAC-address
• Heat sink for high performance / high speed applications
• No soldering required: Female pin headers on bottom side (two 2x32 und two 1x23)
• Temperature range: 0-70°C (-25°C - 85°C on request)
• FPGA configuration / programming via USB using the SDK. (No JTAG adapters or other additional utilities required.)
• FPGA configuration / programming from Flash memory
