This section describes how the various pins on B2B connectors JM4 and JM5 connect with TE0320 on-board components. In this chapter, most of naming conventions and colour coding scheme are taken from the official Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP documentation.

For the schematic connection of J1,J2,J3 and J4 of TE0320 module with JM4 and JM5 of TE0323 carrier board see this link.

 

Pin Labelling

The pin label is abbreviated but descriptive for each pin. All I/O pins begin with IO. If a pin can be used as a differential signal, the name includes an _Lxxy_b suffix, where

type of pins description

I/O

Unrestricted, general-purpose user-I/O pin. Most pins can be paired together to form differential I/Os.

DUAL

 

Dual-purpose pin used in some configuration modes during the configuration process and then usually available as a user I/O after configuration. If the pin is not used during configuration, this pin behaves as an I/O-type pin. See Xilinx UG332: Spartan-3 Generation Configuration User Guide for additional information on these signals.

VREF

VREF0 provides a reference voltage input for certain I/O standards. See paragraph 6.9 Voltage See Voltage Reference VREF0 for additional information on this signal.

CLK

Either a user-I/O pin or an input to a specific clock buffer driver. Packages have 16 global clock inputs that optionally clock the entire device. See the Using Global Clock Resources chapter in UG331: Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User Guide for additional information on these signals.

CONFIG

Dedicated configuration pin, two per device. Not available as a user-I/O pin. Every package has two dedicated configuration pins. These pins are powered by VCCAUX. See Xilinx UG332: Spartan-3 Generation Configuration User Guide for additional information on these signals.

PWRMGMT

 

Control and status pins for the power-saving Suspend mode. SUSPEND is a dedicated pin and is powered by VCCAUX. AWAKE is a Dual-Purpose pin. Unless Suspend mode is enabled in the application, AWAKE is available as a user-I/O pin.

JTAG  

Dedicated JTAG pin - 4 per device. Not available as a user-I/O pin. Every package has four dedicated JTAG pins. These pins are powered by VCCAUX.

GND

Dedicated ground pin. All must be connected.

TE

Trenz Electronic specific pin type. See the description of each pin in the user manual for additional information on the corresponding signals.
