Description

XILINX FPGA Development Board Xilinx Spartan-3E XC3S500E Evaluation Kit+DVK600+ XC3S500E Core Kit = Open3S500E Standard

Overview

Open3S500E is an FPGA development board that consists of the mother board DVK600 and the FPGA core board Core3S500E.

Open3S500E supports further expansion with various optional accessory boards for specific application. The modular and open design makes it the ideal for starting application development with XILINX Spartan-3E series FPGA devices.

What's on the mother board

1. FPGA CPLD core board connector: for easily connecting core boards which integrate an FPGA CPLD chip onboard
2. 8I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
3. 8I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
4. 16I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
5. 16I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
6. 32I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
7. 32I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
8. 32I/Os_3 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules

All the I/O interfaces above:

• capable of being simulated as USART, I2C, SPI, PS/2, etc.
• capable of driving devices such as FRAM, FLASH, USB, Ethernet, etc.

1. SDRAM interface
   • for connecting SDRAM accessory board
   • also works as FPGA CPLD pins expansion connectors
2. LCD interface, for connecting LCD22, LCD12864, LCD1602
3. ONE-WIRE interface: easily connects to ONE-WIRE devices (TO-92 package), such as temperature sensor (DS18B20), electronic registration number (DS2401), etc.
4. 5V DC jack
5. Joystick: five positions
6. Buzzer
7. Potentiometer: for LCD22 backlight adjustment, or LCD12864, LCD1602 contrast adjustment
8. Power switch
9. Buzzer jumper
10. ONE-WIRE jumper
11. Joystick jumper

For jumpers 17-19:

• short the jumper to connect to I/Os used in example code
• open the jumper to connect to other custom pins via jumper wires

The DVK600 supports a wide range of different core boards, therefore, some of the interfaces may be Not-Connected and useless while connecting to certain core board. For instance, while connecting to Core3S500E/CoreEP2C8, the '8. 32I/Os_3' is Not-Connected.

What's on the Core3S500E

1. XC3S500E: the XILINX Spartan-3E FPGA device which features:
   • Operating Frequency: 50MHz
   • Operating Voltage: 1.15V~3.3V
   • Package: QFP208
   • I/Os: 116
   • LEs: 500K
   • RAM: 360kb
   • DCMs: 4
   • Debugging/Programming: supports JTAG
2. AMS1117-3.3, 3.3V voltage regulator
3. AMS1117-2.5, 2.5V voltage regulator
4. AMS1117-1.2, 1.2V voltage regulator
5. XCF04S, onboard serial FLASH memory, for storing code
6. Power indicator
7. LEDs
8. FPGA initialization indicator
9. Reset button
10. nCONFIG button: for re-configuring the FPGA chip, the equivalent of power reseting
11. 50M active crystal oscillator
12. JTAG interface: for debugging/programming
13. FPGA pins expander, VCC, GND and all the I/O ports are accessible on expansion connectors for further expansion
