Signals, Interfaces and Pins

2x6 Pin Header

The 2x6 pin header (2.54mm grid size, female) J2 have to be connected to the corresponding pin header on the target system. The signal assignment of the pin header on the adapter board depends on the configuration of the System Controller CPLD firmware.

Basic pin assignment:

Signal J2 Pin NameJ2 Pin Name Signal
GND 1*GND
User DefinedCAUser Defined
VIO  VDD 3.3V
User DefinedDBUser Defined
User DefinedFEUser Defined
User DefinedHGUser Defined / Button (Reset_n)

Table 2: Pin header J2 signal assignment.

The signals of the FTDI FT2232H chip are not directly connected to the pin header J2 but routed to the System Controller CPLD of the adapter board, which controls and by-passes the signals to the pin header J2.

Therefore, different signal assignments are made on the pin header J2 depending on the SC CPLD firmware:


Signal assignment on TE0790 CPLD - XMOD Standard:

This is the same as the standard configuration except that UART RXD and TXD pins are swapped.

USB Interface

The USB2.0 interface is provided by the FTDI  FT2232H chip accessible by the Mini-USB B connector J4. The entire USB protocol is handled on chip and compatible to USB2.0 High Speed (480 MBps) and Full Speed (12 MBps).

On-board Peripherals

FTDI FT2232H IC

The FTDI FT2232H chip provides a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces. On the TE0790 adapter board at current available SC CPLD firmware the functions USB2.0 to JTAG, UART and user GPIO's.

By programing the firmware of the SC CPLD and special EEPROM configurations further further functionalities are available of the FTDI chip which converts signals from USB2.0 to a variety of standard serial and parallel interfaces. Refer to the FTDI data sheet to get information about the capacity of the FT2232H IC.

Configuration EEPROM

In order to work with Xilinx tools special order must be used, in that case the EEPROM is pre-programmed and serialized and will be recognized by all Xilinx tools (ISE/Impact/Chipscope, Vivado Programmer/SDK..).

Warning

Do not access the FT2232H EEPROM using FTDI programming tools, doing so will erase normally invisible user EEPROM content and invalidate stored Xilinx JTAG license. Without this license the on-board JTAG will not be accessible any more with any Xilinx tools. Software tools from FTDI website do not warn or ask for confirmation before erasing user EEPROM content.

System Controller CPLD

The System Controller CPLD (U1) 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.

Signals of the serial interfaces like JTAG, SPI and I2C are by-passed, forwarded and controlled by the System Controller CPLD.

The internal routing of the signals on the System Controller CPLD between the USB2.0 interface and pin header J2  depends on its configured firmware. Refer to the Resources Site of the TE0790 for more information about the currently available System Controller CPLD firmware and for download.

DIP-switch

The DIP-switch S2 is to set different modes of powering the on-board peripherals and their I/O supply voltages.

Further functionalities are to secure the EEPROM content and to enable configuring the SC CPLD by JTAG interface:

S2ONOFFDefaultDescription
1Normal modeModule update modeONUpdate Mode JTAG access to SC CPLD only
2Do not useNormal modeOFFDo not change from default, secure configuration EEPROM
3VIO connected to 3.3VPower VIO from pin header J2OFFSC CPLD I/O-voltage from/to pin header
4Power 3.3V from USBPower 3.3V from pin header J2OFFPower on-board peripherals (FTDI chip & SC CPLD, ...)

Table 6: DIP-switch S2 setting description.

The voltages 3.3V (VCC) and VIO (variable SC CPLD I/O-voltage) can be configured by the DIP-switches S2-3 and S2-4:

S2-3S2-43.3V (VCC) Pin 5VIO Pin 6Description
OFFOFF3.3V from baseVIO from base3.3V (pin 5) and VIO (pin 6) sourced from base

ONOFF3.3V from base3.3V from baseVIO sourced by Pin 5 and drive Pin 6
ONON3.3V from USB3.3V from USBVIO sourced by USB and drive Pin 6

Table 7: DIP-switch S2 power setting description.

User Push Button

The user push button S1 directly connected to the SC CPLD manipulates pin G of the pin header J2 by driving it to GND.

On-board LEDs

The on-board LEDs indicates system status data transmission activities:

D1Green3.3V3.3V power status LED
D2RedFTDI IC, 'RXLED'UART receive data activity
D3RedFTDI IC, 'TXLED'UART transmit data activity
D4RedSC CPLD, 'ULED'user LED, on standard SC CPLD firmware assigned to pins E and G, in DIPFORTy to G

Table 8: On-board LEDs.

Power and Power-On Sequence

Power supply of the adapter board

The adapter on-board's peripherals are powered with 3.3V as supply voltage. If 3.3V (VCC and VIO) is supplied only by the LDO DCDC U3 (S2-3 and S2-4 OFF), the I/O-pins of header J2 deliver max. ~100mA.

If module is powered from base then S2-4 (and most likely S2-3 (VIO) too) must be OFF.
