Quad SPI Interface

On-board QSPI flash memory Quad SPI Flash (U6) on the TE0841-01 is provided by Micron Serial NOR Flash Memory N25Q256A with 256-Mbit (32-MByte) storage capacity. This non volatile memory is used to store initial FPGA configuration. Besides FPGA configuration, remaining free flash memory can be used for user application and data storage. All four SPI data lines are connected to the FPGA allowing x1, x2 or x4 data bus widths. Maximum data rate depends on the selected bus width and clock frequency used.

Quad SPI Flash (U6) is connected to the FPGA configuration bank 0.

is connected to the FPGA configuration bank 0.

I2C Interface

There are two PL bank 65 IO pins (PLL_SCL and PLL_SDA) reserved as I²C bus connected to the Si5338 PLL quad clock generator. Default Si5338 PLL chip I²C bus slave address is 0x70.

Additionally, two PL bank 65 IO pins (B65_SCL and B65_SDA) connected to the B2B connector JM1 can be used for external I²C connectivity, otherwise these pins are ordinary IOs.

On-board Peripherals

System Controller CPLD

The System Controller CPLD (U18) is provided by Lattice Semiconductor LCMXO2-256HC (MachXO2 Product Family). The  SC-CPLD is the central system management unit where essential control signals are logically linked by the implemented logic in CPLD firmware, which generates output signals to control the system, the on-board peripherals and the interfaces. Interfaces like JTAG and I²C between the on-board peripherals and to the FPGA module are by-passed, forwarded and controlled by the System Controller CPLD.

Other tasks of the System Controller CPLD are the monitoring of the power-on sequence and to display the programming state of the FPGA module.
