APPLICATIONS: Rapid Prototyping Educational Tool Industrial/Process Control Data Acquisition/Processing Embedded Processor 1.0 INTRODUCTION The DLP-HS-FPGA module is a low-cost, compact prototyping tool that can be used for rapid proof of concept or within educational environments. The module is based on the Xilinx Spartan 3A and Future Technology Devices Internationals FT2232H Dual-Channel High-Speed USB IC. The DLP-HS-FPGA provides both the beginner as well as the experienced engineer with a rapid path to developing FPGA-based designs. When combined with the free ISE WebPACK tools from Xilinx, this module is more than sufficient for creating anything from basic logical functions to a highly complex system controller. As a bonus feature, one channel of the dual-channel USB interface is used to load user bit files directly to the SPI Flashno external programmer is required. This represents a savings of as much as 200 in that no additional programming cable is required for configuring the FPGA. All that is needed to load bit files to the DLP-HS-FPGA is a Windows software utility (free with purchase), a Windows PC and a USB cable. The module can also be programmed from within the Xilinx ISE tool environment using a Xilinx programming cable (purchased separately). The DLP-HS-FPGA is fully compatible with the free ISE WebPACK tools from Xilinx. ISE WebPACK offers the ideal development environment for FPGA designs with HDL synthesis and simulation, implementation, device fitting and JTAG programming. The DLP-HS-FPGA has on-board voltage regulators that generate all required power supply voltages from a single 5-volt source. Power for the module can be taken from either the host USB port or from a user-supplied, external 5-volt power supply via an onboard standard barrel connector. Connection to user electronics is made via a 50-pin, 0.9-inch wide, industry-standard 0.025-square inch post DIP header on the bottom of the board and a 26-pin, 0.05-inch wide top side 2x13 header. The bottom side 50-pin header provides access to 41 of the FPGA user input/output pins. The top side header provides access to 22 of the FPGA user input/output pins. The bottom side header mates with a user-supplied, standard, 50-pin, 0.9-inch spaced DIP socket. The top side header mates with a Rev. 1.7 (May 2011) 2 DLP Design, Inc.
