Digilent Vmod Breadboard Digilent Vmod Breadboard Reference Manual Reference Manual Revision: December 15, 2010 1300 NE Henley Court, Suite 3 Pullman, WA 99163 (509) 334 6306 Voice (509) 334 6300 Fax Overview The Digilent Vmod Breadboard (VmodBB) offers a ready-made solution for prototyping breadboarded or wire-wrapped circuits as accessories to Digilent system boards. The VmodBB provides connectors suitable for direct connection of various Digilent system boards. The VmodBB is available in a wire-wrap version or a solderless breadboard version. Features include: Figure 1 VHDCI connector for connection to Digilent Vmod Breadboard Digilent System boards Two 32 pin breadboards with 16 pins each, connected directly to signals from the system board Two power and one ground bus around Prototype connections on every signal The usual Digilent convention is to power the Ships with two 300 tie point VCC bus at 3.3V and the VU bus at 5.0V. breadboards separated by a 100 tie However depending on the system board point bus strip. connected, other voltages may be present. 68 Pin, VHDCI Connector Functional Description VHDCI connector J1 is provided on one side of The Digilent Vmod Breadboard (VmodBB) is the board for connection to Digilent system used to connect a breadboard to the VHDCI boards like the Genesys that contain a VHDCI connector and implement up to 28 IO signals style connector. The Digilent VHDCI connector to or from Digilent system boards. signal convention provides for 40 general- purpose I/O signals. Power Connection 28 of the 40 general-purpose I/O signals from The VmodBB provides two power busses and the VHDCI connector are brought out to a ground bus. The two power busses are connectors BB1 and BB2. These signals are labeled VU and VCC and are powered through labeled IO1-IO28. See Table 1 and Table 2 for the VHDCI connector. These two busses are a description of the relationship between made available at each connector position on VHDCI connector pins and signal names on the board. There is also a ground plane that BB1 and BB2. connects the ground pins from all connectors together. Doc: 502-184 page 1 of 3 Copyright Digilent, Inc. All rights reserved.
