Zefant-XS3 Users Manual

From $1

    Introduction

    Zefant XS3 is a tiny Spartan-3 based module containing all components required for a complete and powerful FPGA platform. It is projected to provide a reusable plug&play solution, enabling the user to focus on the basics of his project.

    Quick Start

    Checklist before PowerUp

    Settings on Zefant module

    • SB1301 MUST be set if no external voltage is provided for banks 2/3
    • SB1301 MUST NOT be set if an external voltage is provided for banks 2/3
    • JTAG DIP-Switches C/D of SW1201 must be set according to chapter 4.7.2
    • SB1401 MUST be set if you want to use JTAG port on TopDown baseboard. See 4.7.3 for more informations. In case of a module stack, this applies only to the bottom-most module.
    • SB1401 MUST NOT be set on any other module than the bottom-most of stack, a short circuit between the 3.3V rails of neighbour modules would be caused.

    Settings on TopDown baseboard

    • SB201/SB202 MUST be set to enable the power supply of the Zefant module

    A baseboard compatible with the Zefant module contains 4 Hirose FX8C connectors. They have to be placed as shown below. The following drawings are available as Protel PCB files and Gerber data on the website for your reference.

    "TopDown" Mounting

    To mount a Zefant module with the FPGA side pointing to the baseboard, 2 FX8C-80P and 2 FX8C-100P connectors are placed on the baseboard as shown here:

    "TopUp" Mounting

    To mount a Zefant module with the SODIMM side pointing to the baseboard, 2 FX8C-80S and 2 FX8C-100S connectors are placed on the baseboard as shown here:
