Overview

The Trenz Electronic TE0821 is a powerful 4 x 5 cm MPSoC module integrated with a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. In addition, the module is equipped with 2x 1 GB DDR4 SDRAM chip, 4Gb up to 128 Gb eMMC chip,  2x 64 MB flash memory for configuration and data storage, as well as powerful switching power supplies for all required voltages. The module is equipped with a Lattice Mach XO2 CPLD for system controlling. 3x Robust high-speed connectors provide a large number of inputs and outputs.

The highly integrated modules are smaller than a credit card and are offered in several variants at an affordable price-performance ratio. Modules with a 4 x 5 cm form factor are completely mechanically and largely electrically compatible with each other.

All components cover at least the industrial temperature range. The temperature range in which the module can be used depends on the customer design and the selected cooling. Please contact us for special solutions.

Initial Delivery State

Configuration Signals

Two different firmware versions are available, one with the QSPI boot option and other with the SD Card boot option.

*changable also with other CPLD Firmware: TE0821 CPLD.

Signals, Interfaces and Pins

Board to Board (B2B) I/Os

FPGA bank number and number of I/O signals connected to the B2B connector:

For detailed information about the pin-out, please refer to the Pin-out table.

JTAG Interface

JTAG access to the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ is applicable by using Lattice MachXO CPLD  through B2B connector JM2.

MGT Lanes

There are 4x MGT Lanes connected to FPGA Bank 505-GTR. The Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ device used on the TE0821 module has 4 GTR transceivers. All 4 are wired directly to B2B connector JM3. MGT (Multi Gigabit Transceiver) lane consists of one transmit and one receive (TX/RX) differential pairs, four signals total per one MGT lane. Following table lists lane number, FPGA bank number, transceiver type, signal schematic name, board-to-board pin connection and FPGA pins connection:

Gigabit Ethernet

On-board Gigabit Ethernet PHY is provided with Marvell Alaska 88E1512 chip. The Ethernet PHY RGMII interface is connected to the Zynq Ethernet0 PS GEM0. I/O voltage is fixed at 1.8V for HSTL signaling. SGMII (SFP copper or fiber) can be used directly with the Ethernet PHY, as the SGMII pins are available on the B2B connector JM3. The reference clock input of the PHY is supplied from an on-board 25MHz oscillator (U11), the 125MHz output clock is left unconnected.

System Controller CPLD

Special purpose pins are connected to System Controller CPLD and have following default configuration:

After configuration completes the remaining free memory can be used for application data storage. All four SPI data lines are connected to the FPGA allowing x1, x2 or x4 data bus widths to be used. The maximum data transfer rate depends on the bus width and clock frequency.

It is the central system management unit with module specific firmware installed to monitor and control various signals of the FPGA, on-board peripherals, I/O interfaces and module as a whole.

See also TE0821 System Controller CPLD page. 

GigaBit Ethernet

On-board Gigabit Ethernet PHY (U8) is provided with Marvell Alaska 88E1512 IC (U8). The Ethernet PHY RGMII interface is connected to the ZynqMP Ethernet3 PS GEM3. I/O voltage is fixed at 1.8V for HSTL signaling. The reference clock input of the PHY is supplied from an on-board 25.00 MHz oscillator (U11).

USB2.0 Transceiver

Hi-speed USB ULPI PHY (U18) is provided with USB3320 from Microchip. The ULPI interface is connected to the Zynq PS USB0 via MIO52..63, bank 502. The I/O voltage is fixed at 1.8V and PHY reference clock input is supplied from the on-board 52.00 MHz oscillator (U14).

eMMC Flash Memory

eMMC Flash memory device(U6) is connected to the ZynqMP PS MIO bank 500 pins MIO13..MIO23. eMMC chips IS21ES08G-JCLI (FLASH - NAND Speicher-IC (64 Gb x 1) MMC ) is used.

Clock Sources

Programmable Clock Generator

There is a Silicon Labs I²C programmable clock generator Si5338A (U10) chip on the module. It's output frequencies can be programmed using the I²C bus address 0x70 or 0x71. Default address is 0x70, IN4/I2C_LSB pin must be set to high for address 0x71.

A 25.00 MHz oscillator is connected to the pin IN3 and is used to generate the output clocks. The oscillator has its output enable pin permanently connected to 1.8V power rail, thus making output frequency available as soon as 1.8V is present. Three of the Si5338 clock outputs are connected to the FPGA. One is connected to a logic bank and the other two are connected to the GTR banks.

Once running, the frequency and other parameters can be changed by programming the device using the I²C bus connected between the FPGA (master) and clock generator (slave). For this, proper I²C bus logic has to be implemented in FPGA.
