ated sysIO™ banks may differ for other densities within this device family.

Applying Power to the Board

The LatticeSC PCI Express x4 Evaluation Board is ready to power on. The evaluation board can be supplied with

power from an AC wall-type transformer power supply shipped with the board. Or it can be supplied from a bench-

top supply via terminal screw connections. It also has provisions to be supplied from the PCI Express edge fingers

from a host board.

To supply power from the factory-supplied wall transformer, simply connect the output connection of the power cord

to J3 and plug the wall transformer into an AC wall outlet.

Power Supplies

(see Appendix A, Figure 9)

The evaluation board incorporates an alternate scheme to provide power to the board. The board is equipped to

accept a main supply via the TB1 connection. This connection is provided to use with a bench-top supply adjusted

to provide a nominal 12V DC.

All input power sources and on-board power supplies are fused with surface mounted fuses and have green LEDs

to indicate power GOOD status of the intermediate supplies

Programming Daisy Chain

This board includes two Lattice programmable devices that can be programmed in a daisy chain. A jumper setting

of J93 controls the chain. Both devices are in the programming chain from the JTAG header J2 with jumpers across

Pins{1-2} and Pins{3-4}. If the user desires to only program U1, only a jumper should be across Pins{2-4}.

Download Procedures

Requirements

• PC with ispVM System v.14.3 (or later) programming management software, installed with appropriate drivers

(USB driver for USB Cable, Windows NT/2000/XP parallel port driver for ispDOWNLOAD Cable). Note: An option

to install these drivers is included as part of the ispVM System set-up.

• ispDOWNLOAD Cable (HW-USBN-2A, HW-DLN-3C, etc.)

JTAG Download

The LatticeSC device can be configured easily via its JTAG port. The device is SRAM-based; it must remain pow-

ered on to retain its configuration when programmed in this fashion.

1. Connect the ispDOWNLOAD cable to the appropriate header. J2 is used for the 1x10 cable.

Important Note: The board must be un-powered when connecting, disconnecting, or reconnecting the isp-

DOWNLOAD Cable. Always connect the ispDOWNLOAD Cable's GND pin (black wire), before connecting any

other JTAG pins. Failure to follow these procedures can in result in damage to the LatticeSC FPGA device and

render the board inoperable.

2. Connect the LatticeSC Evaluation Board to the appropriate power sources and power up the board.

3. Start the ispVM System software.

Configuration Status Indicators

(see Appendix A, Figure 7)

These LEDs indicate the status of configuration to the FPGA.

• D1 illuminated (red) – This indicates that the programming was aborted or reinitialized driving the INITN output

low.

• D4 illuminated (green) – This indicates the successful completion of configuration by releasing the open collector

DONE output pin.

• D11 illuminated (green) – Flashes to indicate TDI activity.

• D21 illuminated (red) – This indicates that PROGRAMN is low.

• D23 illuminated (red) – This indicates that GSRN is low.

PROGRAMN & RESETN

(see Appendix A, Figure 7)

These push-button switches assert/de-assert the logic levels on the PROGRAMN (SW5) and RESETN (SW4).

Depressing the button drives a logic level “0” to the device.

MODE [3:0]

(see Appendix A, Figure 7)

The FPGA MODE pins are set on the board for a particular programming mode via the SW6 DIP switch. JTAG pro-

gramming is independent of the MODE pins and is always available to the user. Pushing in (depressing) the switch

is ON and sets the value to 0.

LatticeSC devices support many configuration modes. Listed below are the configuration modes supported on this

board. The modes are either directly supported or emulated using the CPLD on board.

Bank1 VCCIO

(see Appendix A, Figure 8)

VCCIO1 can be selected on the board to be either 3.3V or 2.5V using J107.

A jumper shunt placed between pin 1 and pin 2 will connect 2.5V. A jumper shunt between pin 2 and pin 3 will con-

nect 3.3V. The user must pay attention to the design and select the correct supply for VCCIO1.

On-Board Flash Memory

(see Appendix A, Figure 7)

Three memory devices (U3 and U22) are on board for non-volatile configuration memory storage. SW3 is used to

control writing and reading from the memory. U3 is an 8M, 8-pin SOIC Flash device and U22 is a 64M, 16-pin

TSSOP Flash device. U22 is located on the bottom side (secondary) of the PCB.

Refer to TN1100, SPI Serial Flash Programming Using ispJTAG in LatticeSC Devices for recommended proce-

dures and software usage.

To use both SPI Flash devices to program the LatticeSC device, the user must write to the Flash devices individu-

ally. This is accomplished by setting SW3 accordingly. Writing to Flash #1 (U22), close 3 and 5 switch positions

(ON) and open all others.

Writing to Flash #2 (U3), close 2 and 4 switch positions (ON) and open all others.

For reading from the Flash devices individually, use the same switch settings as described for writing. For reading

from both Flash devices in a cascading format, close switch positions (1, 3, 4, 5, 8).

FPGA Clock Management

(see Appendix A, Figure 14)

The evaluation board includes various features for generating and managing on-board clocks. The clocks are gen-

erated from either input provided from SMAs (see Ta bl e 6) or from crystal oscillators (Y1 and Y3). Y1 is socketed

for interchangeability and Y3 is a 312.5MHz surface-mount with an enable/disable jumper (J102). Y4 and Y5 also

can be selected using J108 to disable Y5.

LatticeSC PCI Express x4 Evaluation Board

Lattice Semiconductor User’s Guide

When Y3 or Y5 are enabled, the user should remove Y1 or Y4 respectively to eliminate contention issues between

the clock sources.

There are several resistor stuffing options that may be needed based on the user’s requirements, R183 and R184

are left OPEN by factory default allowing connection to SMA inputs via R181 and R182. R181 and R182 are factory

populated with 0-ohm resistors. To utilize the Y1 or Y3 oscillators, the user should move the 0-ohms resistors from

R183 and R184 to R181 and R182.

This scenario is the same for R208 and R209 with R212 and R213 respectively.

A 100-ohm termination is optionally available and needs to be added to R185 and R186 if the SMA clock input are

not used. R185 and R186 are left OPEN at the factory and provide input termination to the B and A SERDES

Quads respectively.

J92 Reference - Input PCS361

J110 Reference + Input PCS360

J111 Reference - Input PCS360

A 100.0MHz surface-mounted oscillator (Y2) is also provided and fanned-out to three general-purpose FPGA

inputs.

SERDES

(see Appendix A, Figure 10)

SERDES Reference Clock

The 50-ohm terminated SMA connectors provide the supply reference clocks directly to the LatticeSC device. This

device will drive clocks to both SERDES quads via 100-ohm LVDS signaling. On-board clock oscillators mentioned

in the previous sections can be chosen to drive the same SERDES reference clocks.

SERDES Channels

Surface Mounted SMA Connections

(see Appendix A, Figure 10)

DC coupled top-mounted SMA connectors connect to the SERDES Tx and Rx channels of Quad B SERDES on

the left side (PCS 361). These pins are directly coupled to the designated SMA connector creating a path for both

input and output differential data.

PCI Express x1 Cable Connectors

PCI Express x1 Cable Connectors (CON1 and CON2) are provided to demonstrate cable capabilities of the

SERDES channels. These cable connectors conform with the PCI Express Cable Specifications. A simple cable

loopback connected between the connectors can be used to evaluate this feature.

SERDES SMPTE Channels

(see Appendix A, Figure 10)

A single-channel 75-ohm SERDES channel is connected to BNC edge connectors. These connections are pro-

vided to connect to SMPTE video equipment. The channels include the appropriate passive components for

interoperability to SMPTE devices.
