Boot Process

There is are no bootmode selection Microchip SmartFusion2 SoC boots always from internal configuration flash, optionally software code for the Cortex-M or soft CPU can be placed to eNVM.

Signals, Interfaces and Pins

I/Os on Pin Headers and Connectors

I/O signals of the FPGA SoC's I/O banks connected to the board's pin headers and connectors:

FPGA I/O banks

Table 3: General overview of FPGA I/O banks

JTAG Interface

JTAG access to the FPGA SoC device U5 is provided through Micro USB2 B connector J9. The JTAG interface is implemented with FTDI FT2232H USB2 to JTAG/UART bridge IC U3. 

Optionally 1x6 male pin header J4 can be fitted on board for access to the JTAG interface on board. The pin assignment of header J4 is shown on table below:

Table 4: optional JTAG header

QSPI Interface

The QSPI interface of the FPGA device is routed to and used by the on-module QSPI flash IC U1:

Table 5: QSPI interface signals

Note: On-board SPI Flash is connected to regular FPGA I/O pins, access to it is only possible when using custom SPI flash IP core or via MSS subsystem SPI when it is connected via fabric to those pins. There is no automatic boot from this flash.

On-board Peripherals

Quad SPI Flash Memory

On-module QSPI flash memory (U7) is provided by Winbond Serial Flash Memory W74M64FV with 64 MBit (8 MByte) storage capacity.

SDRAM

The TEM0001 FPGA module is equipped with a Winbond W9864G6JT 64 MBit (8 MByte) SDRAM chip U2.

FTDI FT2232H IC

FTDI FT2232H Channel A works as JTAG interface compatible to Libero tools. Channel B is connected to FPGA pins with direct access to MSS UART peripheral.

The configuration of FTDI FT2232H is pre-programmed to the EEPROM U9 to make it work as FlashPro5 interface for Libero tools.

System Clock Oscillator

The FPGA SoC module has following reference clocking signals provided by on-board oscillators:

Table 6: Clock sources overview

On-board LEDs

There are 10 LEDs fitted on the FPGA module board. The LEDs are user configurable to indicate for example any system status.

Table 7: LEDs of the module

Push Buttons

The TEM0001 FPGA module is equipped with two push buttons S1 and S2:

Table 8: Push buttons of the module

Connectors

All connectors are are for 100mil headers, all connector locations are in 100mil (2.54mm) grid. The module's PCB provides footprints to mount and solder optional pin headers, if those are not factory-fitted on module.

Power and Power-On Sequence

To power-up a module, power supply with minimum current capability of 1A is recommended.

Power Supply

The FPGA module can be power-supplied through Micro USB2 connector J9 with supply voltage 'USB-VBUS' or alternative through pin header J2 with supply voltage 'VIN'.

The TEM0001 module needs one single power supply of 5.0V nominal.

There are following dependencies how the initial voltage of the extern power supply is distributed to the on-board DCDC converters:

Power Consumption

Table 9: Module power consumption

*TBD - To Be Determined.

Actual power consumption depends on the FPGA design and ambient temperature.

Power-On Sequence

There is no specific or special power-on sequence, just one single power source is needed.

Physical Dimensions

Please note that two different units are used on the figures below, SI system millimeters (mm) and imperial system thousandths of an inch(mil). This is because of the 100mil pin headers used, see also explanation below. To convert mils to millimeters and vice versa use formula 100mil's = 2,54mm.

• Board size: PCB 25mm × 61,5mm. Notice that some parts the are hanging slightly over the edge of the PCB like the the Micro USB2 B connector, which determine the total physical dimensions of the carrier board. Please download the assembly diagram for exact numbers.

• PCB thickness: ca. 1.65mm

• Highest part on the PCB without fitted headers and connectors is the Micro USB2 B connector, which has an approximately hight of 3 mm. Please download the step model for exact numbers.
