PE0402 CML Microcircuits Evaluation Kit User Manual COMMUNICATION SEMICONDUCTORS UM0402/2 December 2010 Features CMX704x/CMX714x FirmASIC product range Command and control by PC via the evaluation PE0002 interface card or users C development application or emulator TM Serial Flash Option for Function Image with In- 19.2MHz oscillator, 6.144MHz crystal circuit Programming or external clock input to CMX7040 On-board supply regulators operate from a single On-board access to all CMX7040 5 volt supply signals, commands and data 1 Brief Description The PE0402 Platform Evaluation Kit is designed to assist in the evaluation and application development of the CMX704x/CMX714x range of FirmASIC products. The kit is in the form of a populated PCB comprising a CMX7040 IC and appropriate supporting components and circuitry. The board also incorporates all of the necessary power-supply regulation facilities for operation from a single 5 volt supply. The board is fitted with a C-BUS connector allowing the PE0402 to be operated by connection to either of the two C-BUS ports on a CML PE0002 Interface Card, and used with the associated PC GUI software, or by direct connection between the CMX7040 C-BUS and the user s C development application or emulation system. TM The CMX704x Function Image (FI) can be loaded, on power-up, directly into the on-board target IC (CMX7040) using the PE0002 interface or the user s system. Alternatively, it can be automatically loaded from the on-board serial memory, on power-up. In this case, the on-board serial memory has to be pre- loaded with the FI by using a suitable third party programmer or by using the Program Serial Memory tab on the PE0002 GUI software. This software is available from the CML website. Function images suitable for the CMX704x/CMX714x range of products can be downloaded from the CML Technical Portal. 2010 CML Microsystems Plc Evaluation Kit for CMX704x/CMX714x PE0402 CONTENTS Section Page 1 Brief Description........................................................................................................1 1.1 History.............................................................................................................3 2 Preliminary Information ............................................................................................5 2.1 Laboratory Equipment ....................................................................................5 2.2 Handling Precautions .....................................................................................5 2.2.1 Static Protection .......................................................................................5 2.2.2 Contents - Unpacking...............................................................................5 2.3 Approvals........................................................................................................5 3 Quick Start .................................................................................................................6 3.1 With PE0002...................................................................................................6 3.1.1 Setting-Up.................................................................................................6 3.1.2 Operation..................................................................................................6 3.2 Without PE0002..............................................................................................7 4 Signal Lists.................................................................................................................8 5 Circuit Schematics and Board Layouts ................................................................12 6 Detailed Description................................................................................................13 6.1 Hardware Description...................................................................................13 6.1.1 Power Supplies.......................................................................................13 6.1.2 Clock Options .........................................................................................13 6.1.3 Control Interface .....................................................................................14 6.1.4 Serial Memory.........................................................................................14 6.1.5 Baseband Interfacing..............................................................................14 6.1.6 Digital Interfacing....................................................................................14 6.2 Adjustments and Controls ............................................................................14 TM 6.3 Function Image .........................................................................................15 TM 6.3.1 Load Function Image via C-BUS ........................................................15 TM 6.3.2 Load Function Image from Serial Memory Device..............................16 6.3.3 Program Serial Memory..........................................................................17 6.4 Evaluation Tests...........................................................................................19 6.4.1 Write to and Read from a Register.........................................................19 6.4.2 Check Analogue Path and Set Input Gain..............................................19 6.4.3 Check Analogue Path and Set Output Gain...........................................20 6.4.4 Generate Two External Digital Clocks....................................................20 6.5 Troubleshooting............................................................................................21 6.5.1 Modification State ...................................................................................21 7 Performance Specification .....................................................................................22 7.1 Electrical Performance .................................................................................22 7.1.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings....................................................................22 7.1.2 Operating Limits .....................................................................................22 7.1.3 Operating Characteristics.......................................................................23 7.1.4 Operating Characteristics - Timing Diagrams ........................................24 2010 CML Microsystems Plc 2 UM0402/2
