Mechanical Interface: TIM Standard

This module conforms to the TIM standard (Texas Instrument Module, See TI TIM
specification & user’s guide.) for single width modules.
It sits on a carrier board. The carrier board provides power, Ground, communication links (Comport links)
between all the modules fitted and a pathway to the host, for a non stand-alone system.
The SMT398 requires an additional 3.3V power supply (as present on all Sundance TIM carrier boards), which must be provided by the two diagonally opposite mounting holes.

SMT398 Support

The SMT398 is supported by the SMT6500 software package available from SUNDANCE. Please register on SUNDANCE Then enter your company’s forum and you can request the SMT6500 from there.
Support Forum if not yet registered.

SMT398 Installation

Do NOT connect any external TTL (5v) signals to the SMT398 I/Os as the FPGA is NOT 5v compliant. This implies that the Comports and global bus lines of the carrier board MUST be LVTTL and that any device driving signals on the SHB connectors must drive at LVTTL (3.3v).
Two types of configuration are described here; nevertheless, you shouldn’t be restricted and should consult Sundance if your system architecture differs.

SMT398 Alone

You can fit the SMT398 on its own, on the first TIM site of one of Sundance’s 3.3v compatible carrier boards plugged in a host computer (PC, PCI, VME carrier etc…), like SMT310Q, SMT328, SMT300 etc…)
Please, follow these steps to install the SMT398 module on a Host system:
1. Remove the carrier board from the host system.
2. Place the SMT398 module on the first TIM site. This TIM site communicates with the host. (See your carrier board User Manual.) This allows you to use Global Bus and Comport 3 to communicate with the host.
Version 1.2.0 Page 11 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
3. Make sure that the board is firmly seated, and then provide the 3.3V to the board by screwing the SMT398 on the two main mounting holes with the bolts and screws provided with the board.
4. Connect the SHB links if required by your application.
5. Replace the carrier board in the host system or power on for a stand-alone carrier.
Version 1.2.0 Page 12 of 52 SMT398 User Manual

SMT398 + DSP TIM

You can fit the SMT398 coupled with a DSP module on any of Sundance carrier boards: Stand alones or plugged in a Host.
The DSP module can then be used to provide the SMT398 FPGA configuration bitstream and to communicate with the host.
Please, follow these steps to install the SMT398 module and the DSP TIM on a carrier:
1. Remove the carrier board from the host system or turn the power off for a stand­alone carrier.
2. Place the SMT398 module onto one of the TIM sites on the carrier board.
• Preferably, fit the DSP TIM on the first TIM site. This TIM site communicates with the host. (See your carrier board User Manual.). This allows the processor board to handle the interactions with the Host by software instead of having to implement a communication interface in the SMT398 FPGA. (Global Bus interface or Comport interface on Comport 3).
• Fit the Comport communication links between the DSP TIM and the SMT398 respecting the rules on polarity at reset. (See your carrier board User Manual.)
• To configure the SMT398 FPGA using the DSP TIM, then you need a link between the 2 modules: Comport 3 of the SMT398
MUST be
connected to one of the transmit Comport at Reset (Comport 0,1 or 2) available on the DSP TIM.
3. Make sure that the board is firmly seated, and then provide the 3.3V to the board by screwing the SMT398 on the two main mounting holes with the bolts and screws provided with the board.
4. Connect the SHB links if required by your application.
5. Replace the carrier board in the host system or power on for a stand-alone carrier.

FPGA Configuration

The FPGA can be configured 2 different ways:
• Using Comport 3 to provide the bitstream. (See The service CPLD)
• Using the on-board JTAG header and Xilinx JTAG programming tools. (See
FPGA in system programming)
At power up the FPGA is not configured. LED L5 (See Figure 19:SMT398 Components placement-Top view, bottom right
hand corner of the picture) will be lit upon FPGA configuration.

Electrical Interface

The service CPLD

The CPLD allows for FPGA configuration in slave SelectMap mode.
At power up or after a Reset of the SMT398, the CPLD is configured and implements a Comport link receiver on Comport 3.
The CPLD is connected to Comport number 3 of the SMT398 TIM connector. Consequently, the Comport on the other end of the link must be configured as transmitter at power-up or after reset, i.e. Comport channels 0, 1, or 2.
The typical SMT398 user does not need an in depth understanding of the configuration sequence and of the Virtex II. However, for the purpose of debugging and designing for the SMT398 an overview of the necessary configuration protocol and bitstream formatting is recommended. Therefore, this section describes the CPLD functions, the Virtex II bitstream format and the necessary bitstream re-formatting when downloading the bitstream to the FPGA via CPLD + Comport 3.
Figure 2: FPGA configuration in SelectMap mode using CPLD provides waveforms to
illustrate the descriptions below.
Version 1.2.0 Page 14 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
Figure 2: FPGA configuration in SelectMap mode using CPLD

CPLD Functions

• Decode Commands coming on Comport 3.
• To Implement a Comport Receiver on Comport 3 after Reset or at Power up.
• Configure FPGA.
• Reset FPGA.
Version 1.2.0 Page 15 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
Decode Commands
At power up, after a TIM global Reset, or once the FPGA configuration process is over, the CPLD reads any word coming on its Comport.
If a received word cannot be recognized as a command, the word is read completely but ignored. The CPLD recognizes the following two commands:
• STARTKEY (0xBCBCBCBC)
• ENDKEY (0xBCBCBC00)
Comport Receiver
At power up or after a TIM global Reset, the CPLD takes control of Comport 3. Once the ENDKEY command is received, the CPLD releases Comport 3. The Comport communication is performed in 32-bit words, where each word consists
of four consecutive bytes. The Comport protocol transmits words starting with the least-significant byte (LSByte), i.e. byte0, as shown in Figure 3: Comport word Byte
order, and 1 byte at a time.
Byte3 Byte2 Byte1 Byte0

Figure 3: Comport word Byte order
Configure FPGA
The signals INITn and DONE are CPLD inputs, the other one are CPLD outputs that the CPLD drives to configure the FPGA.
On reception of the STARTKEY command the CPLD clears the FPGA configuration memory by asserting the PROGRAMn pin low. On INITn going low, the CPLD brings PROGRAMn high and waits for INITn to come back high before starting the FPGA configuration.
Afterwards, the CPLD asserts CSn and WRITEn low for the rest of the configuration process.
The CPLD pulses high CCLK to loads in the FPGA any new byte present on the Comport by.
Version 1.2.0 Page 16 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
The CPLD does not implement any operation on the bitstream and passes it straight through to the FPGA once the STARTKEY has been decoded and until the ENDKEY is decoded.
Once the FPGA DONE pin has gone high, LED L5 (See Figure 19:SMT398
Components placement-Top view, bottom right hand corner of the picture) becomes
on, indicating that the FPGA configured. The CPLD disables the SelectMap interface and waits for the ENDKEY command on
Comport3. Once the ENDKEY command is received, the CPLD releases Comport 3.

TIM Global Reset
The CPLD is connected to a TIM global Reset signal provided to the SMT398 via its TIM connector J4 pin 30. (See Figure 19:SMT398 Components placement-Top view).
The TIM global Reset signal is also available for the FPGA but the CPLD provides another signal called
FPGAReset_In that offers a better Reset control over the
FPGA. At power up or on reception of a low TIM global Reset pulse, the CPLD drives the
FPGAReset_In signal low and keeps it low.
When the ENDKEY has been received, the CPLD drives FPGAReset_in high. I recommend that you use
FPGAReset_In for the Global Reset signal of your FPGA
designs. In this manner, you can control your FPGA design Reset activity and you will also avoid possible conflicts on Comport 3 if your FPGA design implements it.
The Reset control is operated by the CPLD line FPGAReset_In. DO NOT use TIM GLOBAL Reset unless you have a very specific need for your
application.
TIM CONFIG
A TIM CONFIG signal coming from the TIM connector J4 pin 74. (See Figure
19:SMT398 Components placement-Top view and Figure 11:SMT398 Comports connections) is available to the CPLD.
CONFIG falling has the same effect on the SMT398 CPLD as a TIM global Reset pulse.
On detection of a falling edge on the CONFIG line, the CPLD drives the FPGAReset_In signal low and keeps it low.
CONFIG provides a means of reprogramming the FPGA without having to drive the TIM Global Reset signal. Therefore any other modules sensitive to the TIM global Reset signal will not be affected and can keep running their application.
CONFIG is driven from another TIM site on the carrier board, for instance, from a DSP module running an application. (See
the SMT6400 help file for information on
the DSP TIM CONFIG signal). Writing ‘1’ to the DSP CONFIG bit in the config register tristates the line (pull-ups on the carrier board pull CONFIG high) Writing ‘0’ to the DSP CONFIG bit in the config register makes the CONFIG signal go low.
Version 1.2.0 Page 18 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
After a Global Reset pulse, a DSP module drives CONFIG low and keeps it low by default. After Reset and loading of the DSP application, CONFIG can be driven the following way:
#include “SMT3xx.h” #define CONFIG_BIT 1<<6
int main() { *CONFIG |= CONFIG_BIT; //tristates CONFIG (Pull-ups on the carrier board pull CONFIG high) *CONFIG &= (UINT32)~CONFIG_BIT;//CONFIG is driven low //delay while the FPGA is configured *CONFIG |= CONFIG_BIT; }
This feature can be interesting in systems where:
• The FPGA needs to implement multiple functions spread in different
bitstreams that are needed at different stages of the application.
• The system needs to keep running and can’t be interrupted by a global Reset
pulse when the SMT398 FPGA needs to be configured with a new bitstream.
• The FPGA needs to be kept in reset BUT NOT reprogrammed.
o Config low Pulse: the CPLD drives the FPGAReset_In signal low and
keeps it low.
o ENDKEY: The CPL D drives the FPGAReset_In signal high.
Version 1.2.0 Page 19 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
Notes:
• TIM CONFIG is only available on SMT398 v3. The SMT398 version is written
on TOP of the board (See Figure 19:SMT398 Components placement-Top
view).
• TIM CONFIG needs CPLD code version 2.1 or above (Written on a sticker on
the CPLD. (See Figure 19:SMT398 Components placement-Top view).
• The Comport3 is reserved for the CPLD and cannot be made available to the
FPGA.
• CONFIG needs switch SW1 position 8 to be ON. (See Figure 20: SMT398
Components placement-Bottom view)
• If you have more than one DSP module on a carrier and that you want to use
the CONFIG line, you must decide which TIM is going to be the master and have the other DSP modules to tri-state their CONFIG line at the start of their application by writing ‘1’ to the corresponding register bit. (See the
SMT6400
help file for information on the DSP TIM CONFIG signal).
Summary:
The Reset level on the SMT398 FPGA is active low. The reset line to be used is FPGAReset_in on pad AM20 for FPGAs in the big
package (FF1152) and AK18 for the smaller package FPGAs.
Virtex II Bitstream Format The Virtex II SelectMap interface is an 8-bit interface on the device with data pins
labeled D[7:0]. The configuration bitstreams can be written eight bits per clock cycle. The Virtex II configuration bitstreams generated by BitGen (.bit files) contain a mix of
commands and data on 32 bit word boundaries, shown in
Xilinx application note 138
page 20. This format assumes D0 is considered the MSBit as shown Figure 5: V II
Configuration Bitstream Word Format.

Figure 5: V II Configuration Bitstream Word Format
As a result, to be able to download the bitstream to the FPGA using Comport3 + CPLD, the Virtex II configuration bitstream must be re-formatted to match the Comport word standard.
Bitstream Re-formatting The re-formatting consists in inverting the bits in a byte and the bytes in a 32-bit
word.
Further, the .bit files contain a header section before the pad word and synchronization word. The download function FPGAFullConfiguration() from the
SMT6500 package searches for the synchronization sequence and skips the header.

CPLD code versions

• V1.0: Initial release that only receives the bitstream and configures the FPGA.
FPGAResetn is
NOT implemented and Comport 3 is NOT released once the
FPGA is configured.
• V2.0 Indicated on a sticker on the CP LD. The CPLD implements the functions
described above except TIM CONFIG.
• V2.1 Indicated on a sticker on the CPLD. V2.0 + the CPLD implements the
reconfiguration feature described in TIM CONFIG.

FPGA

The module can be fitted with a XC2V1000, XC2V1500, XC2V2000, XC2V3000, XC2V4000, XC2V6000 or XC2V8000.
The FPGA comes in two pinout/footprint compatible packages: flip-chip FF896 and FF1152.
The choice of FPGA will be price/performance driven. The following table shows the main FPGA characteristics.
The choice of the FPGA also determines which board architecture you will get (amount of logic available, speed, number and type of I/Os, on-board Memory size and type). For a complete list of the different board architectures, please consult: 0 Ordering information:

Version 1.2.0 Page 22 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
FPGA in system programming The factory default for the FPGA configuration mode is using Slave SelectMAP mode
and the Comport3. Configuring the FPGA from Comport 3 allows NOT USING any JTAG cables. Having a direct link enhances debugging and testing, and therefore reduces the
product’s time to market. Once the design is complete, the configuration data can be stored on disk and then
loaded each time the system powers up or is reset. The configuration data can also be downloaded into a DSP TIM module external
memory along with the DSP application. See TIM CONFIG. The bitstream is presented on Comport3 and the CPLD provides the mechanism to
deliver it quickly to the Virtex-II device using the Slave SelectMAP mode. Then, the configuration cycle can be transparent to the end user. After configuration the Comport3 can be available to the FPGA for data transfers if
the Virtex II is XC2V3000 or above and if your CPLD design version allows it. See
CPLD code versions
SMT398 Alone
Host software can be developed to communicate with the SMT398. See SMT6025 User Manual on Sundance Web site for more information on how to
develop Host applications for Sundance Hardware. The host Software application BitstreamLd.exe provided in the SMT6500 package is
compiled for Windows NT/2000/XP. It allows downloading a bitstream to the SMT398 FPGA by accessing Comport 3 of
the carrier board’s first site.
SMT398 + DSP TIM
The DSP software routines provided are the download functions LoadBitstream() and FPGAFullConfiguration().
• LoadBitstream():This function reads a bit file from your local HD and stores it
on the DSP board.
• FPGAFullConfiguration(): The FPGA is configured with data from a .bit file
stored on your DSP board.
These functions were developped using 3L Diamond’s high level Comport link functions and will NOT work under CCStudio. You will have to develop your own functions to work under CCStudio.
Version 1.2.0 Page 23 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
• Bit2Asm.exe. This stand alone executable formats a bit file into a Texas
instrument’s asm file. Then you can embed it in your application’s object file at linking time. As a result, the FPGA bitstream is downloaded with the application into the DSP module’s memory which provides a faster FPGA configuration process than the standard way. See TIM CONFIG.
• You can find detailed information about the DSP software routines in:

FPGA Readback and Partial reconfiguration

Using Comm-port3
Readback and partial reconfiguration are enabled by a specific design for the CPLD,
not provided as a standard feature of the CPLD but that can be purchased from
Sundance. Contrary to the original design, the CPLD is dedicated to control the FPGA and does not provide a communication channel to user logic residing on the FPGA anymore. The CPLD is connected to Comport number 3 of the SMT398 connector, which cannot be used anymore by the FPGA to transfer data.
Therefore, the CPLD controller can configure, readback, partially reconfigure the Virtex II and capture.
Version 1.2.0 Page 25 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
Using MultiLINX /Parallel cable III or IV
The JTAG and the MultiLINX SelectMAP headers are also provided to enable application debugging via suitable software. Typically, this will be Xilinx ChipScope ILA (Integrated Logic Analyzer).
The ChipScope Analyzer supports both the Xilinx MultiLINX™ and Parallel Cable III download cables for communication between the PC and FPGA(s). The MultiLINX cable supports both USB (Windows 98 and Windows 2000) and RS-232 serial communication from the PC. The Parallel Cable III supports only parallel port communication from the PC to the Boundary Scan chain.

Memory

Pipelined ZBTRAM Up to 16Mbytes of pipeline ZBT memory is provided with direct access by the FPGA. The ZBTRAM is designed to sustain 100% bus bandwidth by eliminating turnaround
cycle when there is transition from Read to Write, or vice versa. This device is well suited for SDR applications that experience frequent bus
turnarounds, need to operate on small data chunks (especially one-word chunks), and need to operate at higher frequencies than permitted by the flow-through version.
The memory is split into 2 to 4 independent 16-bit-wide Banks depending on the configuration you select.( in Basic configuration or in Full configuration)
All three chip enables are available on each bank for simple depth expansion with no data contention.
Each bank is composed of one chip, available in 4 different sizes as presented in Table 2: ZBTRAM sizes.
The memory is expected to be clocked at 166 MHz (speed grade is: -16) For more complete information, please read:

QDR (Quad Data Rate) Up to 8 Mbytes of
QDR (Quad Data Rate) Synchronous Pipelined Burst SRAMs
memory is provided with direct access to the FPGA. (Provision has been made to accommodate up to 64 Mbytes of QDR when the memory chips will be available)
The QDR operation is possible by supporting DDR (Double Data Rate) read and writes operations through separate data output and input ports with the same cycle.
Memory bandwidth is maximized as data can be transferred into SRAM on every rising edge of the write clock, and transferred out of SRAM on every rising edge of the read clock. (Read clock is write clock shifted of 90 degrees)
And totally independent read and write ports eliminate the need for high-speed bus turn around. The memory is expected to be clocked at 166 MHz allowing a data throughput rate of 1.3 GBytes/s.
The memory bank of the SMT398 is composed of 2 devices added in parallel in width expansion architecture. The address bus, input clocks, R# and W# are common to both devices. The data buses are not common.

Comports

These communication links follow Texas Instrument C4x standard. They are 8-bit parallel inter-processor ports of the ‘C4x processors.
The 398 follows the C40 TIM standard and as such provides 6 links. These are given the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The following figure shows how the 2 configuration Comports (FPGA ) are connected on the TIM.
They are guaranteed for a transfer rate of 20MB/s, which could lead, using the 6 Comports available to a 120MB/s transfer rate.
The Comport drives at 3.3v signal levels.
Additional information on the standard is available in the TMS320C4x User’s Guide chapter 12: Communication ports and the Texas Instrument Module Specification.

SHB Connector The SMT398 includes 4 60-pin connectors to provide SHB communication to the
outside world. The connectors are referenced on the PCB by J8, J9, J10 and J11 (See Figure
19:SMT398 Components placement-Top view).
All 60 pins of a SHB connector are routed to a Virtex II 3000 and above in SMT398
Full configuration.
SMT398s with a smaller Virtex II (1000 to 2000) only provide access to 25 pins per SHB Connector in Basic configuration, which represents the minimum amount required to implement 1 Half Word Interface (Hw). (See
SUNDANCE SHB

SHB Cable Assembly The cable is custom made by Precision Interconnect and a cable assembly solution
builder can be found at:
http://www.precisionint.com/tdibrsb/content/howtouse.asp
SHB Inter Modules solutions High-speed data transfer can be achieved between TIM modules thanks to the use of
a 60-way flat ribbon micro-coax cable or via PCB connections. InterModule PCBs can be found at:
Inter Module Connections
As a result, NO DIFFERENTIAL lines are required to transfer data on long distances and at speeds in excess of 100Mhz, which allows the full use of the SHB connector 60 pins.
Half Word Interface (16-bit SHB Interface) The SHB connectors provide to the FPGA connections to the external world. You can implement your own interface to transfer data over using these connectors,
but if you want to communicate with other Sundance TIM modules, you can implement a Half Word (Hw) interface sitting on 25 pins of an SHB connector.
Then, the SHBs are parallel communication links for synchronous transmission. An SHB interface is derived from the SDB interface which is a 16-bit wide
synchronous communication interface.(
SUNDANCE SDB specification)
The differences are:
The SHB interface can be made Byte (8 bits), Half Word (16 bits) or
Word (32 bits) wide.
The transfer rate can be increased thanks to better quality interconnect.
As an example, let us consider the Half Word (Hw) SHB interface. In You can implement 2 x 16-bit SHB interfaces per SHB connector, as per
Table 9,

and have some spare signals for User defined functions. (no differential lines are needed thanks to our SHB cable assembly described in SHB Cable Assembly).

The SMT398 in
Full configuration provides 8 Hw SHB interfaces on 4 connectors and
can support data rates of 1.6Gbytes/s at 100Mhz
Version 1.2.0 Page 34 of 52 SMT398 User Manual
You must refer to the latest
SUNDANCE SDB specification for technical information
on how it works. You must make sure to use the SMT6500 package V1.0 and above (which contains
the VHDL for it). Constraint File Signal Names
According to the
SUNDANCE SHB specification, 5 Byte-interfaces (from 0 to 4) can
be implemented on the 60 pins of a SHB connector. Each Byte interface has its own CLK, WEN, REQ and ACK.
I defined the signal names going from the FPGA to an SHB connector by assuming 2 Hw configurations per SHB connector: Hw0 and Hw1.
So, when in Half Word configuration:
• 16-bit data D(0 to 15)
• CLK0 is borrowed from Byte configuration 0, WEN1, REQ1 and ACK1 are
borrowed from Byte configuration 1 to make configuration Hw0 control signals and
• CLK3 is borrowed from Byte configuration 3, WEN4, REQ4 ACK4 are
borrowed from Byte configuration 4 to make configuration Hw1 control signals.
The connector names are A, B, C and D with J8 as A, J9 as B, J10 as C and J11 as D.

Global bus

The global bus is compatible with the TIM standard. The Global Bus Interface is a memory Interface that follows Texas Instruments’
TMS320C4x External Bus operation standard. Additional information on the standard is available in the
TMS320C4x User’s Guide chapter 9:
External Bus operation.
When Writing, the FPGA sends data across the global bus to the external device. When Reading, the external device writes data across the global bus to the FPGA.

Clocks

An on-board oscillator provides a free running clock to the FPGA and CPLD. The default is a 50Mhz oscillator but other frequencies can be provided upon request to Sundance.
An external clock input/outptut is provided to the Virtex II FPGA via a 50 ohms MMBX coax-connector.
These clocks can be de-skewed by the FPGA DCMs or output to other TIMs to synchronise TIMs together.

Power Supplies

The PCI specifications state that the maximum power allowed for any PCI board is 25 Watts, and represents the total power drawn from all power rails provided at the connector (+5V, +3.3v, +VI/O,+12V,-12V, +3.3Vaux). The expansion board (in our case the TIM carrier board and the TIM modules) may optionally draw all this power from either the +5V or +3.3V rail. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that many systems will not provide a full 25 Watts per connector for each power rail, because most boards will typically draw much less than this amount.
For this reason it is recommended that you analyse the total FPGA device power drawn by using
Xilinx XPOWER before implementing your design in the FPGA.
This will tell you if you need to use the external power connector provided on our carrier boards. (Like the SMT310Q carrier board)

This module must have 5V supplied through the TIM connectors. In addition, a 3.3V supply is required and should be supplied through the TIM mounting holes. This is compatible with the SMT310Q, SMT327 and future Sundance TIM carrier boards.
Contained on the module are a linear regulator for the ‘QDRs and a DC/DC converter for the FPGA.
DC/DC Converter This module is designed to provide up to 20A of low voltage supply to the FPGA from
a single 5V input. The output voltage provided is a Vout of 1.5V. Current limiting is provided if more than 20 A are drawn out of the DC\DC converter.

A fan coupled with a heat sink can be mounted on the Virtex II to provide heat dissipation but a permanent airflow should always be maintained inbox to provide enough cooling for your system. Please ask Sundance when ordering.

Power Consumption

QDR: 2.5 Watts. ZBT: 5.544 Watts. CPLD: 0.2 Watts. FPGA: depending on the implemented design, the power consumption can reach a
maximum of 30 Watts. Please consider connecting an external power supply to the carrier board. (see 0 for
information

Verification Procedures

The specification (design requirements) will be tested using the following:
1) Power module test.
2) FPGA configuration using CPLD and/or JTAG connector.
3) Comport transfers between a SMT376 and the SMT398.
4) ZBT and QDR memory tests.
5) SHB connector Pins Test using SHB tester PCBs.
6) Global Bus transfers between SMT398 and SMT310Q onboard SRAM.(Not yet implemented)
7) External clock I/O tested with scope.

Review Procedures

Reviews will be carried out as indicated in design quality document QCF14 and in accordance with Sundance’s ISO9000 procedures.

Validation Procedures

The validation procedure is happening during the verification procedure. Test that all the memories are accessible by the FPGA as well as all the
communication links.

FPGA Constraint File general Information

Because the Virtex FF896 and FF1152 packages are footprint and pinout compatible, the SMT398 offers a high level of flexibility in the choice of the FPGA fitted.
SMT398_896_in_1152_.xls is a spreadsheet showing ALL signal connections for ALL FPGAs that can be fitted on the SMT398.
You can see at a glance which signals are available or not for ALL FPGAs. It also allows to sort pins automatically by names beginning with, or containing a
string etc…using the drop down menus. This file also shows a particular feature of the SMT398: some signals can be
accessed from 2 different pin locations on the FPGA to allow an easier routing of your design. (The duplicate pin is indicated by “name_2”). See Table 6: Duplicate

Ordering information:

Because the Virtex FF896 and FF1152 packages are footprint and pinout compatible, the SMT398 offers a high level of flexibility in the choice of the FPGA fitted.
The FPGA fitted will influence the amount of usable resources on the board and of course the price.
Currently, the SMT398 is available in 2 configurations: Full configuration and Basic
configuration.

Full configuration

In the full configuration, a Virtex II 3000, 4000, 6000 or 8000 is used and allows interfacing to ALL the memories and ALL I/Os available on the SMT398.
The SMT398 comes in 3 main full configurations, highlighted in red in Table 7. The other full configurations options are highlighted in blue in Table 7:

The ZBT RAM also comes as Z2, Z8 and Z16 on the board.

Basic configuration

In the basic configuration, a Virtex II 1000, 1500, or 2000 is used and allows interfacing to part of the memories and I/Os available on the SMT398.

Memories

Only 2 Banks of ZBT RAM are available to the FPGA. The total amount of ZBT
on board shown in Table 8 is to be divided amongst these 2 banks.
No QDR available.

SHBs

25 I/Os per SHB connectors are available to allow the implementation of up to
4x16-bit SDB interfaces.

Comports

5 Comports are available with one (Comport 3) reserved for the FPGA
configuration (remains not connected to the FPGA after configuration)

Safety

This module presents no hazard to the user.
EMC
This module is designed to operate from within an enclosed host system, which is build to provide EMC shielding. Operation within the EU EMC guidelines is not guaranteed unless it is installed within an adequate host system.
This module is protected from damage by fast voltage transients originating from outside the host system which may be introduced through the output cables.
Short-circuiting any output to ground does not cause the host PC system to lock up or reboot.
